Just want to know what headers everyone reccomends to use. Overall performance, quality, look and price are to be considered.

all headers will look similar to one another depending upon the coating on them. S&S are definitely going to be the easiest to install and they arent slip fits (which i absolutely despise). the only other set that arent slip fits are TOGs which i had a hard time sealing when i get them on my car, but that is because i had a heavily used set that the flanges were warped on due to someone overtightening them. S&S have smaller primaries and a 2.5" downpipe instead of a 3" like the rest, but i have not seen any examples of that being a factor in holding the car back as far as power goes. i run S&S and love them. they are definitely one of the best sets you can get. ZZP are going to be the most expensive of the group, but they supposedly got rid of all the problems of the other headers have (which i dont believe for one second).
you also forgot SLP, which are better quality pacesetters.
its really down to what you want to pay for how easy of an install you want.

I run obx headers, $350 but require substantial welding and modification, but other than that, a good quality stainless steel header.

That ass clown Ron ran low 12's with them. go I'm good with that.

Better yet just sell me yours Nick

Wouldnt the 3" downpipe give better performance??? I assumed that this would be the case since the stock exhaust is 2.5
As i stated before i dont really care about price but cheaper would be better. I was leaning towards the zzp as the S&S ones will run me about the same price. Now that you told me the S&S headers are 2.5" im not sure i want to get those now.

The stock catback is 2 1/4 or 2 1/2 they have people running traping 110 + with that. Enless the entire catback was the same size as the downipe it will do no good.
again they have people running low 12's with them. Anything lower than that your not going to want a s/c but instead a turbo. And in that case you dont need headers

I have ss autochrome headers. They are working fine.

i have pacesetter, was all i can afford at that time. i wouldn't mind to get ss tho

I am not looking to go turbo but i do want low 12's. I have an 05 so would 3" bennefit me??? I am going to go with a high flow cat also to match the same size headers.
Oh and does your intake price on your site include a filter?
08-02-2009
Benefit you? Not much if any.Especially if you are keeping the stock catback. All I know is people with the S&S headers have ran 12.19 in the 1/4. that was with a 2.8 pulley. So they are definetly capable of that. And if that's all you want then why not get a cheaper set of headers that seal great and have no othe issues. Wrap them. And be done.
And no, none of the intake kit's on the site have a filter with them. But any filter with a 4'' inlet will work fine.

I have ZZP's headers... and god they are awesome. love them, a **** ton of money but they are amazing headers
08-02-2009
The main issue with the header is that i dont want to have to do a crap load of work to make them fit properly without leaking. Hmmmm decisions lol soooo hard to decide.

try getting a hold of the manufacturer and finding a dealer local to you. they make headers for a lot of other cars too.
they really are a nice set of headers.
08-03-2009
What we need is an engine, engine dyno and about $5,000 worth of headers and we'll have an answer. Maybe not exactly which are best for the $ but which give the most HP gains on a comparable set up. If only it were that easy...

SLP's FTW!!
