installed headers today
Bought the Summit brand and they fit perfect with no dents or tweaking or any kind!
Now for the rant on the GM maifolds!
One of middle bolts on each side took 2 hours a piece to chisle the head off and beat the manifold forward so I could chisle the bolt inhalf, then with a screw driver, hammer and some luck got it to turn a little at a time so the rest of the bolt came out of the head.
Sounds good with open headers, was going to get the Pypes setup but Im not waiting until June so A guy I know owns a muffler shop and we are going to do a custom job back to Flogmasters!

Isn't RUST and CORROSION a wonderful thing??
Be happy the bolt came out- I've been the lucky one that had to remove broken bolts for guys when I was palying chevy dealer mechanic. Not much fun, but that's what happens when they find out that you're experienced at something.
