would like your P.O.V
So i was wondering about 2 subjects 1) what is the best set of header out of these brands: hooker, pace setter, BBK, edelbrock? 2) out of these C.A.I : K&N or moroso

I know the best set of headers are kooks long tubes, but there very pricey.... I was going to post a thread headers also so Ill just include my question here:
Whats a good and inexpensive set of headers? What more does one get for spending the extra money on Kooks as opposed to other brands of long tube headers?

i look up header and looks like hooker is the way to go but i just wanted to hear what the most common set were. and with the c.a.i. I was leaning towards the k&n ( just wanted some feed back from all yall who know about this) like i said im a rookie and i need a veteran to show me the ropes

Why pacesetter? Simple: price
They do the job and the coating will help them last.
A set of Percy's seal 4 life gaskets takes care of any fitment issues you hear about.
There are tons of threads on the subject.
You'll drive yourself crazy discussing this until you are blue in the face. If you are going to get LT's, then do it. There is nothing to be nervous about. yes, you'll spend some money. The main reason i went to LT's was not the added torque or HP, although that is a nice benefit. It was to make it easier to get to the plugs and wires.

As for your question about "What do you get with more expensive headers?" you get better fit, full stainless, higher quality construction and tuned tubes. You get what you pay for, that's the way the world works. Pacesetter headers work, the price is decent and they're coated. That said I've heard stories of people needing to dent the collectors on their brand new coated headers in order to get them to clear the firewall. Other people have had great luck with them and they installed fine. I would say you should pick up a set of Dynatech headers if you're in the price range of Hookers. The header itself is less expensive, but you have to buy the collector separate, so that brings them to about the same price and Dynatech makes a great product.
As far as the install, you can do it without a lift, but probably not without some help. You'll have to pull the starter and jack the front of the motor up in order to get the passenger side in. I recommend removing both motor mounts and just jacking up the motor before you even try to install the driver side, it will make it easier to get everything in.
