Default Lt header questions

I am looking into buying a set of long tube headers for my truck. I have heard good things about ASM, Thorley, and Pacesetter. Is their a better choice among the three of them? Also were can I get a good deal on them? Thank you.

pacesetters are the cheapest price wise and you can get a offroad pipe with them

ASM's in "my" opiniom seem to be better quality which is why they cost more buit you have to mod your factory y pipe for them to fit... i have some pics on my webpage in the sig if you are curious as to what they look like. The fit awesome also

Dont the ASM's have 2 1/2" collectors on them also? The Pacesetters have 3" And you can get the ceramic coated headers for about 1/2 the price of the ASM's. But from what I understand the ASM's are a little better quality??

I found a set of pacesetters and a y-pipe for $509.00. Are headers worth the money on our trucks? I have been told that the stock manifolds aren't that bad.

ASM's arent Long Tubes, they're mid-lengths. Pacesetters are the way to go unless you want a catted y-pipe i've come to find out recently.
