Cheap exhaust on a 7 is only cheap until you have to replace it.
The hot exhaust will fry a header that isn't made of good thick metal.
Racing Beat headers are 1/8" wall steel. That's pretty stout.

I have also heard nice things about the Mindtrain header. The Mindtrain header unlike the RB header is a drop-in replacement for the stock manifold. It all depends on what you wanna do with your exahust. If you need to run cats, ya might want to consider getting the Mindtrain with Bonez cat. Those two parts are a direct swap-in for the manifold, pre-cats and main cat that came stock. BTW, I have the RB header and I'm very pleased with it.

I can personally attest to the quality of the RB exhaust system. Bought it for my FB for $1180 CDN, and when I dropped it off @ the shop the head mechanic asked about them - "These parts are amazing quality for an aftermerket exhaust. What'd they soak you for 'em, $2,000?"
Once I got my car back I noticed a huge gain in power and responsiveness. A word of caution though; if you just get the header you will still be plugging up the exhaust with the stock header. When replacing exhaust for more power either do it all at once ($$$) or start from the muffler and work towards the engine.
