They're alright...just make sure the primaries are at least 1-5/8"...I think hooker makes some low price headers in that size.

For the nightmare headers are to put on, spend the few extra hundred and get stainless steel. They are guranteed to outlast your car.
Even Jet hot and HTC coating flakes off in a few years time.
Headers are an absolute nightmare on our cars.
Anyone that says different is lying.

Unless you really want to spend the money, a set a hooker competition headers should do you well. I believe they have 1-5/8 primaries and 3" collector which is a plus.
If you really care how your engine compartment looks then go for something more expensive like SLP's headers. Personally, I wouldn't spend the money.
Headers aren't fun to install. However they definetly aren't impossible. If your putting them on yourself just make sure you allow yourself plenty of time and have a lot of band aids around -=)
