There's American Racing headers, kooks and stainless works. There are many other brands that are also good but these are three of the most popular headers out there with good performance and quality. And for the installation they are all the same except that I've heard that some people have had clearance issues on the 2 inch headers, but the 1 7/8 inch headers are good in clearance, I've never heard anybody having issues on installation with those

Higher price: ARH, Kooks, Stainless Works
Mid range price: Texas Speed, OBX, Stainless Power Low price: Speed Engineering, ebay off brand Personally I have Kooks that I got free coating from www.marylandspeed.com by using the code 'freecoatkooks'. Excellent service, even better price, and incredible headers!

Thanks guys. Have heard a lot of good things about Kooks.
Never knew the guys were having trouble with the 2". That's why it is always better to ask the ones that have done it

I loved my Stainless Works. May be partial to them since they're about an hour from my house though.

they're all going to discolor unless you get them coated.

Yeah I concur, best header for the money Speed Engineering hands down. They turn a slight rainbow gold and purple that's typical of uncoated 304 SS. Fitment was great and this car in general is the easiest vehicle I've ever installed headers on. Even easier than my 2012 Silverado I used to have.
