Need Opinions: Headers
Hey guys. I'm moving right along in the modification of my truck, and I've come to another small crisis: which headers for my truck? HELP ME CHOOSE!
There are many to chose from, so let me narrow it down a bit. I want shorty headers that bolt up in the stock location and I want a combination of good sound & noticeable torque gains.
I've kinda narrowed it down to the following top 4:
1- Edelbrock is probably a safe bet, and of all brands they make the most affordable ceramic header. ($359.00 Ceramic, 309.95 Ti-Tech)
2- FlowTech is another good brand that is reasonably priced. They're ugly, but frankly whos gonna see em? ($189.99 Grey Painted Steel)
3- Gibson is supposed to be a good brand, and their headers are beautiful, but I had a Gibson cat-back on my truck and hated it. ($376.99 Chrome, $661.99 Ceramic)
4- PaceSetters never really appealed to me in the past, but I've heard enough great things about them from the GM F-Body crowd to possibly change my mind about it. ($215.00, Black Painted Steel)
Count Borla out. They make an awesome product but their price is absolutely friggin' rediculous. As good as these are, they're just out of the question. ($879.99, T-304)
I dont know much about JBA headers but they're almost as expensive as the Borlas, and if I were to spend that much I'd just go for the Borlas anyways. ($769.99)
All prices above (except the JBAs) are based on Jeg's current catalogue and are just for sake of comparison.
So what do YOU think? If theres any others you know of, please feel free to share. Its not like I need more to think about but I like having options.
Lemme know! Thanks!
