Default Used/The Cheapest Hooker Side Pipes

Anyone know a good place to get a used set of headers/side pipes, or the cheapest place to get them new?

Don't buy cheap...you will end up paying more later. If you go new, go with jet hot or something similiar. But you could always clean up a used set to save some cash.

Summit Racing has headers for my small block for $81 a pair... I have read good reviews (on this Forum, I think) for the base model Summit headers...

I don't know enough about it though; I have never had anything but the stock manifold on my car. Perhaps other members will weigh in: Assuming the cheap ones fit, and you don't feel you need coated, etc. what would be the drawback of the Summit headers?

Sorry if that's a hijack, but I'd like to know.
