I got my BBK long tubes and ORY combo for $360, shipped. Hard to beat the price and the quality is pretty good. I've put a lot of miles on them and they still look brand new despite the fact they aren't coated/stainless.

LMPerformance. Sucks, though. I just looked it up on their site and they raised the price to $450 since the last time I looked (6-12 months ago). With the 5% off coupon code they're now offering the total comes out to $427, free shipping. Still a nice deal compared to other header/ory combos....just not as nice as that original $360 deal they had.

Iirc the Texas speed ones were on back order at the time and I had a time crunch... I don't regret it at all to be honest... I'm sure the 1 7/8 would have given me a little more peak power but it's really hard to be upset given what I paid for the BBK stuff.

Again, they're great, especially for the price. I daily drive my car and put a lot of miles on it. Haven't had a single issue with the headers. BBK was kind of late to the header game but if you read up on customer reviews you'll see that pretty much everyone who has them loves them.
I went with a small budget; I think after all was said and done I spent somewhere around $650 for full exhaust (BBK LT/ORY combo and TSP Rumbler catback). Very happy, very loud, I personally love the tone. Exhaust is exhaust, I can't really see the justification for spending twice as much on something like Kooks when then end result is the same except for the quality of sound *shrug* Just my .02

Also forgot to add that the BBK headers use a ball joint flange to connect to the ORY. I know some people are against the ball joint flanges but I happened to like them as it made it possible to tweak the angles of the exhaust components before tightening everything down. In other words, instead of having to get special bump-stops and whatnot to fix issues where the exhaust hits the underside of the car, you can simply loosen the ball joints and adjust the exhaust to where you get the needed clearance between the pipes and the car.
