Exclamation F.I long tube header or Stillen headers with test pipes

I was thinking of getting fast intention long tube headers but am a little reluctant because of the price and was thinking would you get the same results while going with stillen headers and test pipes? Any help would be awesome.

the stillen headers are terrible they lose power and in general suck, one exhaust pipe even sits a 1/4 lower after I installed mine, they never shall go back on. Let me repeat I lost power with the stillen headers and a retune I didn't even gain any torque.

Stillen headers are worthless. The only headers that are worth using are PPE LTH, Fast Intentions LTH's (I have these), and the Z1 remake of the Momentum headers paired with the proper test pipes.

Not to thread jack,but has anyone tried the DC Sports shortys yet? I heard somewhere they work like the momentums but priced lower....just wondering, but it seems like most people here just go with HFC's or test pipes on stock exhaust manifolds if they don't go the longtube header route, am I wrong or is that the consensus..?
