Bassani or JBA headers?

[tstranik]

Anybody know about Bassani or JBA headers and if they are good? They are expensive, but I'm looking for the best for my '01 C3.  What about silver ceramic coating?  Worth the price?

Thanks

I don't recognize either of those brands, but ceramic coatings on headers are worth more than the headers themselves. They won't rust out and they scavange better due to keeping the heat in the header a little longer. This insulating effect also cools the underhood temps a little.

I have the JBA ceramics on my '99' 5.3 and love them. Very easy install. I believe Bassani stopped selling theirs so they could re-engineer them for better fit.
