im sure they perform equally, so why spend the extra money? just to let you know though, with the hedmans the paint will burn to a lighter color so youll eventually want to repaint them or you could find a way to take off the paint to begin with and repaint them before you put them on. sorry about the long sentence . the hookers might do the same thing, not sure...anyone have experience with them?

If you're gonna run duals, then why run shorties? The drivers tube angles towards the front of the car, and makes it difficult to hook up to, plus will make a restriction w/ a tight turn. Why not run Long tubes? THe hedman long tubes are only $110 from jegs. LT's make more power anyhow...

yeah, i agree with him. youll be giving up clearance either way. i can tell you for sure that the hedman shorty drivers side header is definitely angled to go under the oil pan, and may be a little impractical to go anywhere else with it. then again, if thats how youre routing your duals, might as well use the shorties.
