Best set of Headers for the $$
I wanted to get everyone's opinions on what they felt were a good set of headers, without having to pay an arm and a leg? Looking for of course good sound, added HP, but most important I'd like a set that's not going to rust out and look like shit in a year.

Stainless Power. Same design and company as Stainless Works, but made overseas with cheaper steel. About $600 when I got mine, catless.
Second is OBX. Nothing to say except they're cheap and are steel tubes like every other header. Pretty sure they're knock offs of Kooks. Your best bet would be to snag a set off the forums here. Lot of people going turbocharged these days, headers pop up often enough. |

BBK! With a muffler delete and hi flo cats, my car is louder and rough as a cammed car. A cam is next on my list.

Stainless Power is without a doubt the best bang for your buck. You get 304 series stainless steel and all the design features of the top tier brands without a 4 digit price tag.

You have an LFX engine right? So no headers.

I have Kooks Stepped on the way.. all depends on what you want and the $ you wish to spend. Next runner up for me would be Stainless Power as others mention.. I just wanted something a little different.
