Price - Pacesetter's if your wanting long tubes and the most power gain for the $$$.
LPP's stainless steel LT's if you got the money, much better product IMO.

Depends on the goals for your car.

For a mid tube, RK Sports are the best for the money, and best for "most" of the setups guys are running long tubes on.

If you're convinced you need longtubes, no question that pacesetter is the best deal on the block. Good header for cheap.
