americanmuscle.com is a great website i have bought from them for all the mods on my car. get shorty headers if you wanna keep the stock mid pipes.. long tubes are used with aftermarket mid pipes. bbk makes good header.. oh yeah free shipping from americanmuscle.com

BBK Shorty Headers (96-04 GT) at AmericanMuscle.com - Free Shipping!

i hope this link helps

if you arnt going with longtubes then it probably isnt worth the hassle of doing the install. if i had to pick a brand i would go with kooks long tubes.

are you currently running a mid pipe? If not, just get the o/r x or h pipe and it will be louder..

dont get shorties, not worth it at all. the only problem with long tubes is you NEED a new mid pipe. i have BBK and they are excellent and have a nice deep sound but i gotta say hookers are probably the best but are alot of $$$. btw if you're installing them yourself you will hate yourself about half way through and say some choice words haha. but its all worth it when its done
