me and a friend did headers on my 01...i did the bassani long tubes/ optimum length headers that bolt directly to the bassani x pipe...the headers are individual tubes that come together into a collector....i also have done one piece headers and they are 10x harder than bassanis....as for quality bassani is very good and kooks is probably the best and most expensive

Yea i was thinking the same with the bassani header because i have the complete bassani cat back......The price is reasonable to you said that u did it yourself.....don't u have to take the k member out........

there are a few ways of doing it but by far the easiest is take the k member off...and yes mine was the first one we did and it took 24 hrs then did my buddies bbk lts on his 97 that took about 14 hrs i think and his was much harder to do then mine we just flew through his cause we did it all before...

mac is a really reasonable LT and lots of ppl say it won't rust and sounds good.

Kooks or ARH hands down. Best fit & quality. Both stainless steel so they will never rust on you.

But you get what you pay for. Bassani and Mac are both good but there not stainless which mean they will eventually rust out. If ceramic coated they will rust from the inside out. Better to just pay to get the best so you never have to worry about it.

i would recommend bassani cause it worked so well for me and also you said you have bassani for everything else so itll bolt right up to your x pipe so you dont need to get a shorty if your into the longtube idea...and im not sure what your trying to ask about the O/R thing
