Kooks, ARH, Stainless Works, and Dynatech are all good choices for quality headers.

Right now they have leftovers from Halloween on some Broomstick headers. I heard they'll make your car fly.

look into OBX and compare to these high doll hair headers!! same quality and less money. Good luck with what ever you decide to buy.

If cost is no issue, Kooks, ARH or Stainless are all pretty close and have their respective advantages. Honestly, Kooks is hard to beat because leaks will not be an issue. Best bang for the buck is Kooks stepped headers. Pacesetters are ok and much cheaper but you get what you pay for. Whatever your purchase, make sure you get them coated.

Default Headers

Kooks Stepped my 2 cents, but it depends what your short/long term goals are.

Lol @ "same quality..."

If you go with a good stainless longtube from SW, ARH, SLP, or Kooks you'll be fine. Each is a quality header.

All the top brands mentioned above are good, just don't get cheap on them. I switched from Pacesetter to Stainless Works because of cat and ground clearance issues and I am very happy with the results.

I had a friend that had OBX on his car. They looked great and looked like a well build set. If you dont want to drop a lot of cash on exhaust I would check the OBX. You can find them on ebay. Not as bad as some might like you to believe

I had some pacesetters, they held up fine for me. But I upgraded to some kooks.

I have Kooks and they are very nice. I would definitely buy another set for any other car.

I have Kook 1 7/8 headers on my Goat, I wouldn't have it any other way. I have the catted mid pipe in the basement and the non-catted pipes on the car.
