Best sealing headers and Y pipe?

I am detuning my '82 Z28 and I'm taking the 3" duals and 1 chambers off, and I want a good seling set of headers and y-pipe. I had the Hedman set-up more than 10 years ago, and I'd rather have something with ball and socket type connections this time around. I searched a while back and someone selling a set-up like that on ebay that was reasonably priced, and but I can't find it on there now. Does anyone know a source for this type of set-up. I'm going to be running a 3" cat back without a cat. Thanks.

How bout the Hooker 2055? They are ball and socket aswell. New they're around $450, i got mine used. I used Percys dead soft gaskets and locking bolts, so i HOPE they don't leak.

How do you like the 2055's?
I'm going to miss the sound of the exhaust that is on it now, but it is way too loud for a regular driver, which is what I'm turning the car back into. Here's a clip of the exhaust I just took off of it.
