JBA is killer loud. I've been around their demo car a lot and if I wouldn't have been a test mule for BBK, I would have their full Comp setup on my car. There are sound clips of it on here, but they do not do it justice!
I'm using the BBK LT headers, factory mids and JBA axle back. With the little bullets they call mufflers, it's LOUD. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Just to warn you, with a muffler delete and long tube headers it will be way too loud. I had a delete when i added headers and it gave me a headache after a 15 minute ride and sounded like a jet. I had my stock mufflers put back on and it is was still plenty loud just more tolerable.

Of your two choices I would easily go with Kooks...made in America and they fit. If it were my car then I would put ARH headers on it.

If money is an issue, i'd suggest 304L Stainless Works headers. TSP has great prices on their headers but they are out of stock till the end of this month.
I can vouch for Ted's header tune. Worked wonders on my car.

Couldn't agree more. They are the only headers to go with.

Dude, flip a coin. Kooks, ARH, Stainless Works, Dynatechs, Doug Thorley, JBA, BBK.........Hell, even OBX........they will all be loud and offer like gains. As you can see, Kooks and ARH are popular on this site. I suggest you do some research and make a decision based apon that.
