If you purchase the 50 state emissions legal headers you will pass. As for the best headers, if price is not an issue then I would say the SLP stainless steel headers w/ the 1 5/8 primaries.
If you don't have a visual inspection, you don't need "smog legal" aka expensive headers. If you do, the only cheaper ones are the Edelbrocks and I think Hooker makes some too for about $350. That's as cheap as smog headers seem to go.
If you don't have a visual and want cheap, go with hooker comps for $141 or Hedmans for $99. Hedmans have a y-pipe you can get for another 99, but Hookers must fab their own. (I heard Meineke has good rates, which makes fabbing own not a bad deal.)

I was concerned that adding headers would create problems for passing smog inspections, but then I was referred to SLP and saw they put out "50 state legal" versions... so that problem was solved!
I am fortunate in that money is no problem for me, so I am rolling with SLP stainless steel 1 5/8" headers. Expensive ($600 + installation), but I am certain they will be worth it. I am trying to get the very best performance headers possible that pass smog, and everyone said these were the ones:
Here they are:

Nice huh?
