Have any of you used Headmann Headers?

I'm looking to get a set of headers and I am stongly considering the Headdman set. I'm looking for something without the AIR tubes and can be used with a matched Y pipe in the stock location. Price is also a key factor. What do you guys think?

I have the Headman's. They fit well and were a fairly easy install. I did change out the motor mounts though. It appears that older motor mounts create problems with headers. Changing the motor mounts is a real headache but it makes the header intall easier. You choose.

I've got them. Installation was a breeze and I had no motor mount troubles of any kind. The headers aren't anywhere near them. On a 305 they should work great, but because of their 2.5" y-pipe I think my 350 is getting choked.
