Here's a the cheapest pair you can get from Summit. I don't know how good the Flowtech headers are. I have a set of ceraimc coated Hedman Hedders on my 98.

16 hours to install the flowtech headers, this included relocating the brake proportioning valve, clearancing them for the steering shaft and grinding down the back of the passenger upper control arm.

Hookers will have the best fit,thus part of the reason they cost more.You can get them with 1 7/8" primary tubes.The other ones are mostly 1 3/4" which is dated technology.You will have to relocate your brake proportioning valve regardless of whatever header you get.Just swing it up on top of the frame rail,to get it away from the header.
