I like Mac personally but try RPM outlet some say they have bad luck ordering from them, but I have had only good dealings with them!

The only 2 cheaper long tube headers i can reccomend with confidence are BBK and Mac.

I've heard nothing but good things about the MAC ceramic coated ones...Supposedly they are the best "affordable" ones.

I have pypes lt. I had some clearance issues with the passenger side header and the starter motor. Also i was mad when i found out the steering shaft goes through them. I would save up honestly and get kooks.

But now after they are installed im over all the hassle of the install and happy with my headers

I have pypes lt headers and yeah. Kinda iffy about the steering shaft going through the header. But so far all is fine, maybe i got lucky. But i would save up for some kooks if i was to do it again. Also the passenger side header had clearance issues with the starter motor. I just shaved the corner of the starter motor and it fit

lt headers are a bitch lol

Stay Away from BBK. I had them on my car, and it hit the steering shaft. The design that they have is terrible. One of the primaries is basically dented in half to try to clear the steering shaft.
