Default 1999 Mustang - What are the best aftermarket headers to get?

Hey guys, I'm new to the site. I got a 1999 V6 in February and have been looking at different engine upgrades. I'm getting a CAI soon. But I was wondering whats the best brand/type of headers to get?

Thanks

there are 2 kinds of headers.. shorties and longtube(full length) headers.. shorties dont offer any improvement but are direct replacements for stock exhaust manifolds.. longube headers offer a gain in power however require the replacement of the midpipe so its more work.. on a side note there are several makers of shorty headers but only 2 longtube header producers (pacesetter and MAC)

My vote is for Pacesetters if looking at LT's......

If you go the shorty route, the BBK's are good peices.

I have them on my 01, ceramic ones.
