Default Swapping headers, any suggestions?

I am currently running shorty headers. The problem is I constantly have wire burns. Changing the plugs is also a bite in the ****. I want a LT header that will allow easy access to the plugs and give my wires room to breath, what do you all recomend?
I plan on Jet Hot coating them. I would prefer stainless. Idont plan on doing the H/C, so I am leaning toward TTS or FLP. If it makes any difference, I do want to go with an offroad pipe or an aftermarket cat.

Thanks

greg

I've installed them all and like the TTS the best. Top quality all the way. Steve Cole sells what WORKS! He did a lot of testing with diameters and lengths before coming up with these. I have them in the Mall at $1149. I will soon be selling the TPIS because some guys like the idea of the larger diameter,but I have the TTS on my car because Steve Cole told me that's what is optimum for a street driven C5. I gotta go with what he says. He is definitive source for making the C5 run it's best ANDY
