DON'T GO STILLEN i have heard nothing but bad things about the stillen. I have even heard that one person had power loss when installing there header. I would suggest hotshot.

Go with the latest hotshot Gen 5. But if you would rather buy one used, then hook up an older hotshot, say a gen 3 or 4. Stillen, dont even bother. JWT i believe makes a very similar header to the hotshot, if not identical. Or, buy a new pacesetter for 150 bucks from nopi online. Pacesetter has them in stock as we speak, and they are a great bang for the buck. I would reccommend it over the stillen.

JWT sells HotShot headers. Nobody seems to like the Stillen.

I would also recommend Pacesetter over the Stillen. Florida guys dyno high numbers with the Pacesetter, and 2 Texas guys have run 14.7's on intake exhaust and Pacesetter header. :)

NOt sure about the Pacesetter but I do know that JWT sells the HOT SHOT and that one guy got like 10 hp at the wheels when he went from the Stillen to the HS. HS is good for me.:D

same as the rest have been saying, nothing but bad news from stillen header.....pacesetter is a great bang for buck, but the highest recommendation is HOTSHOT for quality...and also a bit more gain from the data ive seen.

go with HS.
