Who makes the best headers??

I'm thinking of buying headers for my truck and wanted to get price on them. Does the headers come with every thing I need to install to my bassani catback.

You'll need the Mid Pipes if you order headers and the catback. dont do Bassani shortie headers not worth a squat. Gotta go Long Tubes, you got 3choices Kooks(JDM), DynaTech(REM), or the new LFP Headers. the differences in them I dont know. also I was told you wont see any real power adding out of them till your in the upper 400hp area, but they do make a KICK *** sound.

As Far as headers go i would agree to go with the Dynatechs,Kooks or LFp headers I have Kooks but If I was to do it again i would go with the Dynatechs.

I just got the LFP hot jet coated. I havent installed them yet b/c im still waiting on the cat pipes, but I can tell you these things look bad@ss! I'll let you know how they are in a couple of weeks if you're interested.

any long tube rocks, its all in whom you want to spend the coins with. There might not be any large gains on the dyno, but you can feel the difference in low end torque while driving. Also its just a piece of the puzzle in making more power and like was said, the sound rocks

I'm probably going to go with the kooks headers, but how much do they cost and does the kit come with everything i need to install them.

thanks

I bought my Dynatechs at REM and to this day I am very happy with them. Fit and quality are there, 6 months later no leaks or complications.

I lost two pounds of boost when they were installed. Just to demonstrate their effeciency.

Paul and Keith did a great job on the installation and it just so happened that the entire kit, long tubes, high flow cats and install were on special all included for $1100.

Sound, well............speechless comes to mind, it rocks!

Another vote for Dynatech!! Installer said that installation was easier than KOOKS LTs. I think you'll be happy with any of them listed above. Also JLP now carries long tubes. Not sure who the manufacturer is though.

I have the JDM/Kooks stepped long tubes and am very happy with them. I would say either them or the Dynatechs.
