JetHot. Best buy for the money, especially of all the longtubes. Getting some when the cash flows in. A search will uncover many + and - of each of these. I think of all of them JetHot is the greatest LT without raping your wallet.

I just finished putting in my TPiS Longtubes.
I couldn't be happier with them.
You can check them out at
www.tpis.com
However their pics aren't the most informative so if you look at my webshots album there's 5 or 6 pics.They're worth more just because of how they use real 3 inch long bolts with 9/16 heads instead of the tiny header bolts everyone else uses.
Easy to get at and tighten up well.
The ground clearance is level with the oil pan and plug access is great.
I welded in the emissions fittings myself before having them coated locally here.

TPiS makes more than just headers and it took me 6 weeks to get mine. The hand craftsmanship is first rate and for me it was worth the wait and cost.

I just put in FLPs. Installing them wasn't bad and fit and finish are great. I'm very happy with them. Plus they come with everthing bolts, gaskets,ypipe,2high flow cats, plus 2 off road pipes. The clamps are the best no chance of leaks.

I purchased FLP's and when I could not get my spark plug boots on the plugs because the headers were made way to close to the spark plugs. FLP told me just back the headers of the head and it will go on. **** that. I sent them back and put some Hookers on and am very happy now. I'm sorry but I don't want to back my headers off every time I want to change my plugs.

what kinda of wires do you have because I didn't have anyprolbems with my wires. The only one that is close is the # 5 plug. It does clear Alittle hard to put on. I didn't have to back my header out to do any of my wires.

Hooker and Jet-Hot's are pretty much just the same as the above named but with a few differences...

I'd go with anything other than FLP. I have them and they have leaked since day 1, they bang the underside of the car, and they are so tight to the spark plug's and wires that I have yet to not burn 1 wire. I'm fed up with them and will replace them at the end of the year.
