Buying LT Headers which ones?

I am looking into longtube headers. I am leaning towards SLP's but are they worth the money. Which ones do you suggest. Should I go for some cheaper ones and have more to spend on other mod's or do I go for SLP or something along that line. My mods are K&N FIPK and SLP Loudmouth.

If I had it to do over again I would buy the TTS or Jet Hot headers.

FLP's!
You'll gain about 30 HP. You can get them ceramic coated and they come with off road pipes. I have about a 4" ground clearance.

My vote, Grotyohann/QTP/Thunder Racing LTs, they're the same. They're probably the best "performance" header available and they're reasonably priced too...at least compared to the FLPs. You should be able to get a pair for $700-800, from TR or QTP.

The only reason to go with FLPs is if you don't want to run cats but you don't have a choice (emissions). Put the cats on, take the cats off...nice...but I don't have to worry about emissions, so I wouldn't even consider them. JMO

If you are going LT you might as well forget about cats. You live in a non emisions state. There is (I belive) a huge difference in !cat exhuast tones I think you would like.

I picked up 4 tenths and 2.xx mph with slp LT's w/cats. Everyone keeps saying what they like better but they never say what gains they got out of them. No dyno #'s yet.
