Bassani is the best way to go in my mind. The set I had were REALLY nice headers and very high quality. I have never heard any bad things about BBK. I know a couple of people that use them and seem to like them ok.

What is your engine combo?

If your engine is stock, go with either BBK or MAC 1 5/8" and you will be fine. I personally prefer them ceramic coated as they last a very long time that way.

If it isn't stock, it would depend on your combo.

had my BBK's for 3 years, no probs, long tubes completely changes the sound- like a race car at 5000 RPMs.

BBK's have a thick one piece flange and use stock type h-pipe/x-pipe connectors, really easy to adjust/disconnect with the ball joint flange
