Advice on headers

Hey all, haven't been here in a while. I have a 2012 Camaro SS L99. I already have Borla ATAK cat-back exhaust on my car, next step for me is headers. With the exhaust I have, by experience or people you know, what brand of headers would go best on my car (sound and performance)? I don't know whether to stick with Borla or if there is another brand that fits well.

They will all fit well and sound very similar. Comes down to your budget. Many folks have had gd luck with the less expensive companies.

Budget is not an issue, as long as the price isn't ridculous, I have been looking at YouTube videos and reviews all night at work. I haven't done any performance upgrades in about a year and a half (put more miles on the car) and now I'm ready to awaken the beast step by step

You should put a gun rack in the back window so you can display that baby all the time. Perfect Texas accessory.

When I first saw your pic my immediate reaction was...oh,oh, black scary rifle next to license plate number. But I'm sure the Feds already have you on a list.

Pfadt Tri-Y's if you can find a set. It will be damn loud with the Ataks regardless

Everywhere I'm looking they say product (Pfadt) no longer available
I saw a video of Pfadt headers on a Camaro with ATAK and it was sick. I will keep looking. Kooks are my second choice but I don't want to miss out on a sleeper brand.
