You get what you pay for here. Hedman makes a good header in two types. The standard set are fine and the "elite" series is a beefier model with a ceramic coating which I highly recommend. They start at under $200 and go to close to $400 I think. Check Summit.com for pricing and info. You can get more expensive headers from many of the supporting vendors to the left and all will fit your bill and they are high quality and have good fitment. They generally start at around $700 and go up quickly to stainless steel types in the $1500 range.
This is kinda the gas, tires, oil thread. A lot of it is personal preference. The "Search" function is your friend. Click the "Advanced" option, type the word headers and select the C4 Gen or Tech forum. Grab a beverage of your choice and camp out for a few hours to read the multitude of threads on this subject.
BTW, with straight pipes its gonna be LOUD. Your neighbors and local LEO's will love you.

and maybe got a one off special model because Hedman Elite series
were a breeze to install and they make spark plugs a child's play
take the hedman off to swap plugs ? i don't think it's the header's fault man
