Who makes the best mid-length headers? I've seen countless threads on long tubes but I've yet seen a good topic on mid-lengths. Who in your opinion makes the best mid-length headers, and which Y-pipe would you go with? Hmmmm..

Re: Who makes the best mid-length headers? There are only two midlenghts. Bassani and Mac. Mac is cheaper and many more people use them because they were out for years before the Bassani’s (which just got released this year, BTW). I have seen both and I think the quality of the Bassani’s is better, IMO. The Bassani coating is worlds better as well.
Not too many have tried the Bassani’s with an ORY so there aren’t that many dyno gains info about them like for macs, but most of the dynos that I’ve seen with cats have shown the Bassani’s to gain about 10 to 15 rwhp through cats on a stock internal motor. Bassani uses garbage cats though (Catco), so if you do want to run cats I would recommend getting the ORY and welding in some good cats like RTs or CSs.
I plan to get Bassani's eventually...
