People complain about OBX, but call them and talk to them directly about what you have and need. Don't just order of ebay. They make LT1 L98, and variants of them on port shapes etc now. If I had to buy headers again, I'd buy the stainless OBX. Basically a $1,200+ header in a $400 package.

There are tons and tons of threads on headers here. Mostly, you get what you pay for. The spectrum will run from uncoated plain headers ex. Hedmans for around $300 to stainless steel ones ex. Stainless Works for upwards of $1500. All work and most come with some minor fitment issues, the more expensive, the less you will encounter. Some headers come with hardware and connectors. So look at all of them on the market.

I personally would recommend, Exotic Muscle, Melrose and Stainless Works if you can afford them.

Good luck!

About how much does headers help performance? Can you actually tell it in seat of the pants performance?
