    Basically you have two types. Tri-Y and Tune Length Headers. Tri-Y are normally a tighter, neater fit with 3x "Y" joins in the pipes. 2 at the top and 1 at the bottom for making a single pipe.
    Tune length headers are 4 into 1 at a large collector, typically with a 3 bolt flange. They are called tuned length as each pipe is (supposedly) the same length and come together at the collector. These can be messier fit because of the extra length in pipe circling back.

    Pacemaker and Genie are respected brands and you would be likely happy with either. Pacemakers for me can hang a little low to the ground. But I like my cars down in the weeds.
    Other brands include HM Headers, Hurricane, Outlaw, Perry, and quite a few re-badged from Liverpool Exhaust.

    I've got a set of pacemakers on mine (they are blue in colour) they are 1 3/4 primary's into 3inch collectors. They cost about $600 and are fantastic. I find the 4 into 1 style are good for bottom end and the 4 into 2 into 1 commonly known as "headers" are good for highway driving.

    I had Pacemakers the same as RAEME's on my old HQ. It ran a mildly worked 308. they were good for sound and a little power. My current HQ runs a generic brand and I've had then repaired twice... I reckon you get what you pay for with extractors.
