Default Headers

how much would you pay for a set of headers? I want to put headers on my 5.3L but there's so many differences in price that I don't know which to buy.... it would help if I knew anything about engines... I'm looking on this site

http://www.jegs.com/p/Hooker-Headers/Hooker-Headers-Competition-Headers-Chevy-GM-Car/2470515/10002/-1?itemPerPage=90&pno=1

and I don't know which to buy... any suggestions would be much appreciated.

First you have to settle on a budget, then decide whether you want stainless steel or regular steel. I went with ceramic coated Pacesetters with ORY pipe from Texas Speed. They fit good and were affordable.

I set my budget for headers at $500, so I don't go broke. I'm trying to do CAI, exhaust & headers all at once.

I also went calspeed on my 2wd. Awesome headers for the money, no fitment issues and stainless.
