Default I Want Torque !!!!

I've heard Bassani Headers make great torque numbers!??!

Is this True?

Since i dont drive at more than 160MPH
too often i end up sliding through corners
and tricked into lots of donuts and
100 ft burnouts all the time.

I Want Torque !!

Get gears. They won't give you real power per say but it will fell like you gained 100ft lbs of torque. You will be a lot quicker.

If you want headers, go with LG's.

Scientifically, Bassini step headers are excellent for low end torque (gotta love equal length primaries) . They sacrifice a little torque compared to 4-1 long tubes in the high end, however they have more area under the torque curve in the 2-4K rpm section (excellent for street/track driving where you won't always be at redline)

These are certainly on my must have list. Best price I've seen is here:

you can also order them with High flow cats and X pipe:
