Default Longtubes, which to get?

I'm wanting to get some longtubes. I'm not sure on what to get, or if it really matters. So I would like to know which one you would suggest and why? They are going to be used with an offroad h-pipe if that makes a difference. Money's a factor btw.

I'm guessing I would get the most power out of the BBK's? They look less restrictive with the least bends.

I personally believe that the BBK coated longtubes are a great fit/price/quanlity ratio for most builds.

I think you are heading in the right direction...

Get the ceramics, chrome will just rust and turn blue. Go to Ebay and check out BBK headers, Brothers sells them cheaper on there then in their catolag

There is some real "tough guys" on the internet.

However, I would recommend not going with the cheap flowtech headers. Welds and fitmentleave something to be desired.
