Re: Headers (Sliding)
Are emissions an issue?
If not I would get the Hooker 2151's. They really helped my car out a lot, 23 hp and 32 pounds of torque. You probably won't see quite that much of a gain because I already had a cam that would take advantage of the exhaust better.
As for price, well that I don't know. You can get them for probabably $250-600 depending on which coating you get on them if any. What's gonna hurt you is shipping costs obviously. I would highly recommend http://www.speeddemonmotorsports.com They are somewhat pricy but the coating they use is outstanding. It's not a high polish look but it's durable. It really helps keep the underhood temps down. Mine look as good now as they did when I installed them almost a year ago.
BTW, don't waste your money on shorites. The L98 has a fairly decent manifold design so shorties really aren't worth the hassle. LT1's stand to benefit a litte bit, but even that is minimal.

Re: Headers (Nathan Plemons)
Whatever you buy, you will have to make sure the fit will not cause problems for the starter, knock sensor. Another component, depending on style, is the O2 sensor. If located too far back, the O2 sensor can cool down and go closed loop. Installing poor fit headers can ruin a nice weekend. Go with something that fits and doesn't melt components.
Good luck.
