Default AS&M headers vs. Thorley's

Okay,i've been looking at getting headers and 12" bullets with x-pipe dumped but i can't decide what headers. The thorleys are cheaper and they are also longtube, but i just don't know if they are going to be as good as the AS&m's. Does anyone know if the Thorleys are comparable to the asm's?

Also, should i get the 2.5 diameter bullets? 2.5 X-pipe diameter? Plan on getting some sort of s/c in the future, but not looking to loose low end. should i stick with 2.5 everything?

Summit has 3 part numbers listed for the thorleys one is ceramic coated, what are the differences between the other part numbers?

Well a month won't hurt me too bad, but do you think they are about the same performance wise compared to the asm's

The asm's look very nice but I have the Thorley's and I love them.They are the best headers I have ever had on any of my trucks.

I know firsthand that the guys over at Thorley/Jardine are super nice people, got my trailblazer exhaust for free because of the prototyping they needed to do. They need '05 vehicles if anyone in socal knows anyone that wants free exhaust btw.
