headers I am thinking about investing in a pair of headers for my 2002 trans am.
I am going with long tube but do not know what brand to go with.
Not looking to spend too much but also dont want any junk.
Need opinions

I would get this:
http://www.texas-speed.com/p-294-pac...e-package.aspx
Of course there are other vendors, but I really like the look of TSP's Y-pipe:

But no matter who u buy from, I would def suggest Pacesetters as your brand for headers. They fit excellent on my other TA and they did not break the bank. About the only downside of them is that they are not stainless steel so they will eventually surface rust.

BBK LT/ORY combo, shipped to my door for $360 (add $100 if you want coated).
Quality is great, fitment was perfect (slid right up without any banging or grinding), and clearance is better than stock.

I was thinking of BBK's as well. Where did you get them for that price? Best I found was $389 from ws6store.

10 Camaros You Should Never Buy
I have OBX stainless, bought them used for $200 and had local muffler shop make me a custom y pipe for $120, so far so good. Should have put poly MM on as well, my y hits the floor slightly on hard launches.
EBay to kooks..and all in between...all depends on what you wanna spend....there's a ton out there, a lot of guys like pacesetters...personally id go eBay, under 200 bucks shipped and stainless.
The rasp on Pacesetter Longtubes and an ORY depending on your catback can be absolutely terrible for some people. If you are unaware, rasp is that sort of farting noise you hear on 4 cylinder cars with straight pipes under load. It sounds different on a V8 but it is very surprising if you amplify it through an exhaust like SLP loudmouth.
Also since I had pacesetters my suggestion is that you avoid them if you live anywhere that salt is put on the ground. They will lose all their coating in a single season if you live in a salty area.
