Best headers for the money?
Looking to get some headers and looking for advice. I would love to get a pair of Kooks but hard to justify the high price with other options out there for almost half the price. Looking to spend about $1250 on CIA and headers and use NPP exhaust. High flow cats or off road pipes?

I'm going to catch crap for this but OBX. Can't beat the price. And they work and fit nicely.

Best headers for the money?
I went for JBA shorties and mid pipes. Post dyno coming this week if the shop has a morning slot (slip in there on the way to work). See my thread "shorties and middies" for results. Yes, LT are better but PadreSS on this forum showed some significant improvements with both shorties and middies.

Get long tube stainless steel headers for best sound and max power not shorties there's only a little power gain. I have kooks long tube header and cat deletes

Thanks for all the feedback. I'm am going with the Stainless Power LT's with High Flow Cats from Apex and pair it with a ADM race intake from Ohio Speed. Can not wait to get them installed and test my wrenching skills. Should be pretty straight forward.
