would it be a good idea to put hooker competition headers on my 92 305?

You're a little short with info here. What do you have specifically: TPI? TBI? Any upgrades like cam, catback, etc.? Do you have to go through emissions testing or inspection?

IIRC, the "Competition" line is a long-tube design. Not a good idea if you don't want to fuss with a custom-made y-pipe to the cat or some way to make full duals.

Hooker has what they call "Super Comps" in a shorty style with A.I.R. & O2 fittings, y-pipe to a 3" slip-fit cat, p/n 2055. About $350 from Summit (not in paper catalog - check on-line p/n HOK-2055 or call their tech line). With a 3" cat & cat-back, they would make most any 305 run better.

I didn't recall correctly. The 2460 "Comps" are shorty style, 1-5/8" primaries, 3" collectors. No emissions fittings.

Gotta get a Summit catalog to keep at work...
