Welcome to TGO. A search on site will generally provide the info you require. The stickies at the top of the page would be a good start. That said, the board favorites are the Hooker 2055's and Dyno Don's, both shorties.

Yes the 2055s come with air tubes but they also come with a very nice y- pipe.

i know some one that is selling some brand new Dyno Don headers for $350 just doesnt have the y pipe you should buy them from him and then just get the y pipe from Dyno Don.
