Header question

I have read about how some people prefer Edelbrock's headers over SLP and vise-versa for their L98 350 TPI.

However, I have never heard if one is easier to install than the other (I'm a novice, so I need the info).

I don't know if it matters, but my car has the G92 option (dual cats).

Does anyone have an opinion on the level of difficulty for installing either the Edelbrock or SLP headers on a L98?

Any info would be appreciated.
Thanks!

Edelbrock is easier to install, but SLP works WAY better. I really never heard of anybody preferring Edelbrock over SLP.

A buddy of mine installed SLP's on his '92 TA. He said is was a breeze, and he had plenty of clearance. I'm gonna get some too.

the best bang for the buck is teh headman's. You can get them from ACS ceramic coated with the Y pipe for 300 adn install as easy as the edlebrocks'. The edlebrocks are the least quality header of the three, but I do have them but i'm changing mine to the headman's.
