what headers are best for TPI engines?

what headers are good quality and contain all the emmisions and O2 hook ups, and are resonably priced?
thanks

SLP makes the best headers in my opinion, but they're also the most expensive. Check the GP board, there's a special right now.

thanks for advice, so the SLP's seem to be the favorite. THese things new are 4-500 bucks right?

I used a set of MAC headers and they worked great. The emission tubes still hook up and I did not have any exhaust leaks.

SLP's are pretty pricey if you buy them new, I'd suggest finding a set of used ones also. But if you cant, dont be afraid to go with Edelbrock. They work fairly well with a 305, the SLP's 1 5/8 collecters are a bit much for a 305. So if you have a 350, go with the SLPs, and go with some coated Edelbrocks if you have a 305...just my .02
