Which shorty header should I use?

I want to buy a set of headers for my 88 Iroc, I have a 5.7 TPI and single cat.

Please give me part numbers of the headers you are using or planning to use. I dont care about emisions since this car does not have to be smoged.

They need to be shorty style.
Also, is anybody using the Hedman part # 68470? Are they any good?
Thanks.

I'd look into Hooker 2055s, the Hedmans don't come with a y pipe.

I've had the Edelbrocks and didn't care for them.

No.... but you can buy a y-pipe for ~$100, and the headers are ~$110.

How much are the Hookers????

Oh yea... they're ~$350... and why should someone pay $140 more for the same size primaries and collector??? I'm no economics expert, but I'd say that's bad economics.

i just bought the hookers for around $340. they are going on my 408. they look like a really nice set up. they are 50 states legal. if you want me to post pics of them please let me know before tuesday. they are being sent out to Jet Hot on tuesday for the ceramic coating.

Of course we'd like to see PICS . Thanks a lot.

Another question. I read that the Hooker headers P.N. 2055 are tuned with equal length primary tubes. Is this good? Or a better choice than the SLP or the Headman's that are not equal length tuned? Is anybody here using the Headman's?
