Hooker 2055 - angled or straight plugs?

I am buying new heads and a pair of Hooker 2055 headers.
What is the best fit for the headers, straight or angled plugs?

Thanks
Jan

I have vortec heads with straight plugs
The fit is good but changing plugs is a PITA, I made custom tools and change most from the bottom

I have the hooker 2055 and used 90 degress boots...they work and look nice....its a PITA trying to tighten the plugs around the header pipes...seems like no matter how to angle the wrench it gets in the way of something....

its not so much the headers thats the problem, its the different heads that are out there. you can have two differenthead manufacturers and both have striaght plug design but they may not be in the same location on the side of the head. Your gonna have to tell us what heads your running now andmaybe someone already has that same combo. Hope that helps
