You can catch group buys on here for headers. I think there is a group buy on OBX in the for sale section. Personally, I know it's hard buy I would wait and get quality headers. From what I have seen there is a definite difference. You also need to keep in mind your ultimate goal for your vette. Really depends on what you want to achieve.

You've got a nice car. Don't go cheap, you'll regret it later. If all you want is sound you can do that without headers. If you want HP go with LG or Kooks. Quality, looks, sound & performance.
I have an '01 and went with the LG pro series LTs. Along with Blackwing Intake and computer tune the headers were good for 40+ HP over stock and with the stock Ti exhaust the car sounds wicked at WOT but smooth at idle. To me it was well worth the money, and the support from the LG staff is always top notch!
One note would be to find someone with headers and Cat back to listen to it (in the car) before you decide. For me Headers and Borla Stingers for example is obnoxiously loud, but some like it. You've already got a Titanium exhaust system that makes good HP and sounds great with headers and still allows you to hear your radio on the highway.
