Default Help with Headers

hey guys, i was looking for some help with headers for my truck.
I was looking at the Dynatech 115-841300A SuperMAXX stainless headers
I was also looking at the ARP 434-1301 - ARP Stainless Steel Header Stud kit, but i don't know if it'll fit.

i'm dead set on stainless (don't care polished or natural) and am willing to spend up to a grand for them. i'm open to any input. what do y'all think?

Its a toss up, but keep in mind that you'll need a Y pipe too (catted or off-road). Stainless Works are also nice.

ARH has a superior design to any other header for our trucks. They have the best collector and are closest to true equal length headers. They also use the ideal ball and socket joint for the connection to the Y pipe.

I'm very happy with my StainlessWorks, very high quality. The ARH headers appear to be top notch also.

i've got custom true duals so no y necessary

my intentions are: blower eventually, probably a corvette kenne bell kit and cam swap regardless of going FI.
you get what you pay for, so i don't really want to get the cheapest thing out there, but want to get the best product for my money, but if its worth the price, i'll get whatever works the best.

whats the difference in price point between the arh, stainless works, and dynatech?

forgot to add, i'd like to get something that can be left completely untouched and untweaked with no leaks. i really want to do this right so i only have to do it once

if you go with the stainless works. get v-bands to connect up your exhaust. they are a little pricey but it will be worth it.

Get the stainless works, the ARH are way overpriced and aren't even a long tube header. They're mid length. I personally am going to get stainless works ones here in a month or so. My OBX's will be for sale and for cheap
