RE: Headers
Run a forum search or just look around. Header threads come up all the time.
Long story short, though:
Don't waste your time and money with Shorty headers. The HP gain is small (3-5 HP according to a recent magazine test) and the effort is not. Instead, get long-tube headers. There are many choices, performance is about the same on all of them. The difference in price has to do with the completeness of the kit and the quality of the parts.
Popular choices are the Hooker Super Comps (least expensive), Kooks, JBA, Dynatech, and so on.

No matter which you go with, getting them jet coated is nice IMO

RE: Headers
+1 on the Dynatechs. Great quality and fit, awesome sound and performance. If you want to hear them, Pypes has clips of mine on the website with Violator axlebacks. They are listed as 05 easy run and 05 hard run. Vocoat went with the same setup and loves them!
