Save for the Kooks...They are the last header you'll probably need to buy...Just check around on different sites...I got a great price from Fbodycentral.com in Baltimore, MD, but I see you're on the "left" coast...

You can get Pacesetter Coated Long Tubes and the YPipe from Texas Speed or Ebay for $500. (with emission fittings)

You can get Pacesetter Coated Mids and Ypipe from Summit Racing for $400.

If you wanna go mids, order some Mac mids they are probably one of the best.Plug acces is great and they can give as much as 28hp(dyno proven).Around 450$$

But if you want LT go with the best Kooks LT Ask a quote from A&Z Power and Sound,they are sponsor here and they gave me a good price.

don't get mids, its just not the same. there are many headers that are in between kooks and pacesetter. whatever you do get ceramic coated longtube headers. you won't regret it

I would get some hooker/jet hot headers as my second choice. Not really a fan of the pacesetter. Those would be my last choice.
