Patriot VS TTI VS Dougs

http://www.moparmusclemagazine.com/...g_tti_exhaust_system_and_headers/viewall.html

I'm thinking I'll go with the short headers so I won't have any doubt about running a stock starter.
And what I'm also thinking is that if I go with a complete TTI system I know the exhaust will mate up to the headers.
Is this an issue with the TTI exhaust is you use someone else's headers to save a few buck?
I just wish stainless was an option.
I want no maintenance, not low maintenance.
