Depending what your price range is would be the greatest factor in choosing headers. If its not that large I'd go with a nice set of pacesetters or possibly some hooker headers or jet hot's. Although I would definitely choose hooker headers over pacesetters. If you are a baller I would try for some kooks headers.

I'd be careful withe the pacesetters. I have them on my ta the construction of them is good but fitment sukc, they almost constantly hit on my steering shaft which equals to false knock, which equals to no power

I know quite a few people, including myself, have had trouble with the drivers side collector being too close to the floorboard and making it almost impossible to get a Y-pipe to clear the transmission brace.

Jethots are great quality pieces for the price, but i would do a test fit before buttoning everything up. Ive heard some people actually having the collector hitting their floorboard. Mine are about 3/4'' from it.
