I agree. Kooks headers and go to Maryland Speed. Maryland usually has the best price.

the brand is your choice but make sure you get them coated. install is 6-8hrs with no lift unless you get lucky with the ps lines lol

Send a message via MSN to 05_GTO
Kooks are Stainless Works. I will highly suggest in having them coated. As far as how long, if you are going to try this yourself and never done anything like this it can take 6-10 hours IMO. Having a shop do it expect to for pay 6-8 hours.

I got the kooks 1 3/4, only issue i had was needed plug wire insulators on because some of the wires were touching the header. My install time was not nearly as long, also had 2 people. Install of headers, highflow cats, and magnaflow exhuast 5.5 hours. hardest part was disconnecting the steering shaft so to drop the rack down a little bit.
