I have Exotic Muscle and love them, but they're not the cheapest around...If you're looking for good bang for the buck, I'd recommend Hookers. I think Jegs has a pretty good price for them.

Do a forum search, and many threads about this will surface. Some pretty recently.

Lawlz0rs...

The cheapest best bang for the buck headers are the Hedman headers available at Jegs or Summit Racing. I run some used Hookers and they were pretty darn simple to install. Takes about 4 hours if you can do it yourself.

Still think Hedman Elites are the best bang for the buck.

do the hedmans come with provisions for the 02 senser? and also how much do the hedman longtubes help performance wise? i figured long tubes wouldnt work good with the tpi.. considering tpi is known for tourqe and low rpm power, neither of which are associated with longtubes..

Headman Elites are 14 gauge steel, ceramic coated and have 3/8" flanges. You can't get better than that. Also they are fairly cheap. Look around for free shipping. You should spend less than $400.
