Hedman elite headers versus Dynomax ceramic coated?
Anyone have a reason to go with one over the other (with the exception of the $30 price difference)?
Any performance difference? The Hedmans are 14 gauge and the Dynomax are 16.
Cost is $229 versus $259 at Jegs with free shipping.

Or the Hooker competition headers for $159 (not coated)
Anyone have experience with using different headers on the same engine and setup?
Thanks

I was going to go with Hooker Super Comps, but they're pretty pricey for uncoated headers... So I'll probably go with the coated Dynomax; even though they're thinner, the ceramic coating is inside and out, so they'll probably last longer.

Re: Hedman elite headers versus Dynomax ceramic coated? (phoenix)
I checked into the Hooker Super Comps but the price is what kept me away from them because I wanted coated headers.
I have the Dynomax headers on now but have also had the Hedmans installed and the Dynomax seems to fit better in the car.
Also if I remember correctly the Dynomax and Hedman headers are the same thickness and run 1 5/8 tubes with 3" collectors.
The Hookers run thinner steel but with 1 3/4 tubes and 3" colloctors.
Hope this helps
