OEM is good. Is there any reason you would want to go with another manufacturer? You want a lower temp one? A higher temp one?

Thermostats are all essentially the same. It's one of the few parts that I wouldn't hesitate going to Pep Boys to get.

Unless you want a lower/higher temperature thermostat, just go with OEM, or any one you can find.

and besides, running cooler isn't all people make it out to be. for a stock car, don't bother with a lower-temp thermostat. your car is programmed to run rich when it's cold, so since your engine will never get up to normal temperature, it will always run rich. don't do it unless you're going to tune the ECU to get rid of that and effectively lower the operating temp so it doesn't run rich at 160degrees.
