Boy did you open a can of worms!
I have Kooks and love them
LGs are nice too. LG compares there Headers to everyone elses headers BUT KOOKS (for a reason) IMO. You cant go wrong with either Both have exceptional fit and power
KOOKS are cheaper
If you have any other questions Id be happy to help
one other thing when getting opinions on a mod make sure the people actually have the mod they are talking about!!!
thats imperative!!!

Kooks, LG, or American Racing headers are all high quality stainless steel headers. You will also have to replace your factory X pipe with one that will bolt up to your headers. You will need to decide if you want to install an X pipe with, or without catalytic converters. If you have a smog inspection in your state, I would suggest hi-flow cats. If you go with the hi-flow cats, then you will need O2 sensor extensions since the new cats are located further back in the system (originally, the cats are along side the oil pan and after long tube headers are installed they are back in the tunnel area).
Best of luck!
