Shorties: hooker vs hedman

Ive found 2 similar shorties from hooker and hedman, HOK-2460HKR and HED-68470. The only differences I can see is the hookers have a slightly thicker flange, have "stock" flange at collector, and hedmans come with reducers. Hedmans are cheaper though, but only by like 10 bux. Any input on the better of the 2?

same damn thing. The newer hedmans have a ball flange instead of a 3 bolt flange and you can get a y pipe for them that you cant with the hookers. I have Hedmans that are Jet Hotted and I like the ball flange better. Seals tighter and you have a little flexibility in terms of maneuvering the ypipe so it fits better.

Hooker 2055 have a matching y-pipe and they are a ball and socket type. They seem to be really popular around here.

Yeah sorry, the hookers I was talking about are the 2460's.
