BBK Shortie Headers?

I have read alot of threads regarding exhaust systems. I am ready to change mine. It seems most people have used Pacesetter or Bassani or Gibson headers. I was considering the BBK headers along with Flowmaster 50's (stainless), a pair of high flow cats and a H pipe. (Placing the O2 sensor in the H).

Is one brand of header really better than the others?

Do the headers have the threaded holes for the EGR set-up?

just remember you get what you pay for. i had a bad experience with bbk headers on a 91 302 brano. the passenger header blew out where the 4 tubes go into collector. replaced with mac headers and have not had a problem.

I heard of alot of people using JBA on a different web site, but the seem to be pretty pricey.
Do they have the fittings to reinstall the EGR pipe?

Yes on my 98 they did.They are stainless steel that's why there so much.I also got mine Jet hot coated so I wouldn't have to worry about replacing them.
