I like my edelbrock TES headers. There is nothing easy to install but they fit without beating on them or the car.

Im sure you can do a search and find that many people like the SLP, however, They are over 500 and the edelbrock TES are second choice, i got mine from Jegs, 320 and they got here in 3 days...

PLease search ... you will find many past topics...

in order:
1. SLP
2. Hooker
3. Edelbrock or Headman.
It would probably cost as much as the headers to have them installed. I've done headers on a '88 mustang and '68 camaro and it goes really easy with some friends to hang out with. Doing it by yourself will be a chore.

Find out if you even need them in your state. If not, the less crap under the hood, the easier it is to work on.

as usual, i will have to say, without any hesitation at all, SLP. they are by far the best as far as i am concerned. i had edelbrocks on mine and i did not like them.
