Lightbulb Recommended Headers?

I have an 88' FC N/a, and I wanted to consult the forum first before jumping head first into buying headers that are ****.
What do you guys think will, be a great brand of headers and please keep a low cost in mind.
Opinions please.

Take your pick based on application:

http://www.mazdatrix.com/r-8.htm

Note that the 6 port header with the actuation tube for the aux ports will not run the ports by itself. You need at least some backpressure in the exhaust to make them work.

With any header, you will absolutely need a silencer and at least one other resonator in the exhaust to keep the noise down, if you aren't running a cat.
