what are the best long tube headers to get?

are shorty headers any good for the C5's?

Vinci's web site has a good write-up on the Bassani Tri-Y header. I looked at them in my research but there were two things I didn't like about them. One was they weren't stainless which I really wanted. My old car I had back in the late 60's early 70's had steel headers and they rusted bad (they weren't coated though) so for this reason I wanted to make sure I got stainless. Second, the Bassani headers place the front O2 sensor in the "two" section of the Tri-Y therefore it is only reading two cylinders instead of four. I wasn't too keen on this idea either. In the end I went with the QTP's, which are still a Tri-Y but was all stainless.

If I were buying today, I'd get a set of QTP Tri-Y headers.
