Vortec heads are the standard 23deg exhaust port. So your only decision is how much do you want to spend. What ever you get. Go with HPC or Jet hot coating. I use Hooker super comp for angle plug heads. Headmans are also nearly equal length. People on this forum seem to like dynomax because they are less than 1/2 half the price of coated hookers.

I just figure that headers are a lifetime investment and I knew at the time angle plugs were in my future so I bought other than just off of the shelf headers. I called Hooker and ask for 1 3/4 X 28 equal length primaries and 3 1/2 inch collectors. Because I also knew in the future I was going to need 3 inch true dual exhaust without cats.
