Header Install

Does anyone know what co. sells headers that are a direct bolt in set-up (no welding) besides TSP, I havent heard eneough info on TSP's headers to go with them yet. Also did any of you guys that installed headers notice a big increase in power?

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!

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

I am not going with TSP headers (thats prob the only thing I would not get from them) not bashing TSP, I just want good quailty headers, what about the TPIS headers??
