Default Flowtech or sumitt headers?

I just ordered my Airaid Intake and throttle body spacer for my truck. Naturaly now im ready for headers, ive searched around for the best prices, flowtechs(200$pair) and summit(150$pair) seem to be the best deal. I hope to get 30 hp out of these two parts. I dont want crapy parts on my truck what should i go with?

hate to break it to you but the TB spacer wont do nothing for our trucks and as far as headers with summit any way thats a hit or miss with them leaking , others will chime in..

i got 10hp from the module, and when i combined the k$n fipk with ti, i got ~23hp. TB's just cause scavenging in the manifold. [:-]
