American Racing Headers (ARH) are known to be the best but come with a pricetag

ARH all the way, the quality is amazing... The welds are all perfect and I just can't say enough good things about them. I put them in myself and they are well worth the money spent.

I would suggest Dynatech... I think they have really good performance headers.

The difference between Long tubes from the diff manufacturers is 2-3 hp at max. It is simple if you are blown go with 1 3/4 and 3' collector na 1 5/8 primaries and 2.5' collectors. Dunno I prefer to pay 750 for a set that come ceramic coated. But hey thats me

They are all going to give you similar gains. All of them are good ARH, Stainless Works, Bassani, JBA, etc. The only differences in the price are going to be whether you get them coated and paying for the name.
