Default Best sb full length headers?

Haven't even picked up my "new" 81 yet, am up to it with things to do to it already!

I'm looking to do 1-5/8's full length headers, preferably coated. What have
you guys had good luck with as far as fitting and ground clearance - oh, that don't cost upwards of a grand - ?
Looking for ones that have reasonably equal length and as long as possible tubes. Oh, plan on Steeroids rack & pinion in future, too, in case anybody's had any experience with that setup with headers.

Thanks much!

:iagree:

Have Hookers on my Corvette, but the DynoMax CeramCoat have been rated highly in magazines, and are kickinA on the 454 in my Suburban...and the price is super.

Best deal is probably Dynomax, I have recently been looking at Hedman Husler headers they are real bad, 1 7/8 in primaries on a small block :eek:

i got hooker super comps that are jet-hot coated...porbably the best fit, but very low at the bottom...since i lowered the car, it will definitey drag or hit if your not careful.

The regular Hedmans (68300) are 1 5/8th's, 68301 is the number for ceramic coat, 68301-6 is ceramic coat and A.I.R. pipes.
