Best fitting? I'd say LG

You'd have to get them coated. They are Stainless Steel.

i was originally going to go with the JET-HOT headers, but you have to think about what you are paying for!! JUST headers! what about the rest of your system? cats? x-pipe? rear pipe to connect with cat-back?

these headers are "unproven" i remember a while back when they first came out, they seemed attractive due to their low price. im sure they are good headers and GREAT quality, but you are not done after spending the $600 on the headers. you still need a whole mid section to your exhaust. after realizing id spend at least $1000 before all was said and done, i decided to go with the LG's that would completely bolt up in my driveway all the way to my catback! having a custom exhaust system welded can be pretty $$$. just my .02

why do you need coated?? i had coated jet-hots on my LT1 camaro, and now have the LG's uncoated... dont really see the big difference. im sure less heat, but worth the money?? its up to you!

Ohh dear god... another header thread.

Your choices:
LGM
Stainless Works
Bassani (or borla, forget which)
TPIS


I went with the LGM because everything comes as a kit and they are pretty light for headers.
