Get Hooker, I got mine from MTI for about $400 and recieved them the next day! They'll come with the black high temp paint, but you should get them ceramic coated.

i'd go stainless if you get the chance. they just look nicer in the long run(eventually coating will rust if you drive it as much as i do). if you don't go stainless, get pacesetter from TSP.

depends on your monetary constraints. I went with Hooker.

i paid about 400 for mine from MTI, they had them there on site, bought my ORY from them as well, and they put them on.

I'm very pleased with all of the parts and work involved.

My headers have not rusted. They won't rust if you get them done right.

I went with pacesetters from TSP, guess it depends where you're from. Most of the guys here run pacesetters, but we are like 10 minutes away from TSP lol.

kooks there is no other..if your going to spend $400 you could get some used kooks for that maybe less.. its not like you goign to install them and never turn you car on anyways. And the fitment is second to none!!
