i was looking to buy new headers for my truck.. my truck is a 90. I have a GM Performance Parts 350 HO crate engine with vortec heads. I upgraded the truck to a 96 dash..and used 96 intake manifold and wiring from a 96 tahoe. Also, upgraded to a 4l60E transmission. I want to find a good set of headers for it.. I was gonna but a set of Gibson headers. i dont know if i should buy chrome, stainless steel or ceramic.. let me know

ceramic coated or otherwise as long as its coated, you will be fine

 

I had a set of Gibson stainless headers on my old '96. Always stayed nice and worked better than the crappy stock manifolds.

 

Get at least mid-length headers if not long tubes. Good options are Thorley Tri-Ys or longtubes. The Thorleys are emissions legal out of the box and give beeter performance than shorty headers such as Gibsons.
If you already have headers from your old motor just weld up an EGR and o2 bungs on it and you will be fine. James B. did this on his CA motor with the Hooker long tubes and passes.

 

Hooker 2462 1HKR 1 5/8" x 2 1/2" long tubes $375 coated $190 uncoated.

or
Hooker 2806 1HKR 1 3/4" x 3" longtubes with equal length primaries. $750 coated or $400 uncoated
