Default Best fitting headers

Well.... I cant find any shorty headers (short of having someone weld some up, and thats not gonna happen). What does everyone have for long tube headers and what do they think are the best (for the price) im looking for a pretty cheap pair (as far as no hot coating, and nothing really radical). Hedman or Hooker or what? Thanks for the help guys.

I put ceramic coated Sanderson Block huggers on my 73. $400 Very happy with them and easy to install. I do not have A/C though so it was an easy install. Good Luck

WELL SHORT HEADERS WILL GIVE YOU MORE LOW END TORQUE AND MID RANGE.LONG TUBE HEADERS WILL GIVE LOW END TORQUE AND MORE TOP ENDFOR THE MONEY I WOULD GO WITH THE LONG TUBES...HOOKER SUPER COMP ARE GREAT HEADERS 1 3/4 TUBES AND A 3 INCH COLLECTOR. OTHER GOOD HEADERS ARE ...KOOKS HEADERS............JBA HEADERS...........TECH FLOW...............GOOD LUCK ON YOUR SELECTION
