I was shopping around for some long tube headers and I wanted to get your guys Opinion on what brand is the best that makes the most power..??

 

theyre all gonna make similar power for the most part. The difference will be if theyre SS and fitment.

 

I have the Pacesetters, aren't stainless and now have rust pits on collectors. I'd buy stainless, pay a little more and do it right and be done with it.

 

ebay was selling some stainless steel longtubes for lt1's a while back. I bought some and they seemed like good quality by looking at the welds. But i sold them before i had a chance to install them, so i cant comment on fitness.

I know a bunch of other people bought them too, so im sure theres a couple reviews about them somewhere.

I think kooks also released some SS longtubes recently for the lt1 fbodies. I bet theyre pricey though.

 

Kooks is ridiculously expensive...

 

I have pace setters with no real complaints considering the affordable price. Though, if I were to do it again, I'd have gone the stainless rout

 

Pacesetter are more and likely the best bang for the buck

 

Im running speed daddy stainless headers. They are 1 3/4 stepped to 1 7/8. The fitment is decent had little problem around steerin arm. For the price there great.

 

Im running the eBay headers. They had some fitment issues by the steering arm and the k member but for what i payed im happy with them. I daily drive my car so they see hot summer days to cold wet nights and no problem at about 40k miles so far.

Hard part now is finding them...

 

Summit headers are the painted pace setters. Think there like 260 bucks

 

I'm happy with my pacesetters, just wish they were stainless. I have the ceramic coated ones and after a few years they still look shiny on top, but there is some rust around the collectors. Plus they are made in America.

 

I have had coated pacesetters for a LONG TIME absolutely no issues!
Friends have had other headers with great results aswell
Jet hot (hookers)
Pacesetters
LPP
kooks
They are all good and do get pricey with higher quality metal.
