I have a complete stainless works system. Very high quality headers that are a DIRECT BOLT ON without any issues. The one I have my eye on are American Racing Headers. They look REALLY interesting and are touted as the easiest to install!

WWW,stainlessworks.net There forum sponsors!

Dynatech sells a complete setup with headers, cats and x-pipe - including all the hardware, extionsions and other goodies you will need along the way.

and yes, it made a noticeable difference in power...

I installed headers, 3" mid pipe, ported TB and a vararam. Gave me a solid 30 RWHP increase.
