in that case, the best ones would be a pair of custom bent/handmade one off flow tested, revised, rebuilt, etc. etc. by a professional racecar engine builder.

other than that, it's gonna be a selection from the major long tube manufactures.

This has been beat many times and with a search will find many threads.
Kooks
Melrose
LG
Dynatech
American
to name a few
Coated or Stainless?
Only LT for a Vette or wasting your time and $$$
Doing any other exhaust mods? High flow cats? Cat back? Might as well
while doing the headers and add a CAI and tune or you will spend even more $$$ later
