Dynomax ceramic coated ones are prolly the best bang for the $, but I think the hedmans would get you few extra ponies up top. I went the Dynomax ones are am very happy with them.

I just picked up a set of Heddman's for my car, 350 smallblock. I had to modify the passenger side to clear my idler arm. Slightly bent in to clear the idler arm. Haven't finished yet so can't tell you what else yet.

It's the Dynomax Cerma Coat for power. The others for emissions.
Hedman does have very good BB Corvette headers.

Let us know how it goes. I'll be in the market for headers and new exhaust once I get my vibration problem ironed out.

I will let you know when I have finished the install. 2 1/2 duals back to stock mufflers. Had this setup on a 77 with the heddman headers. Car sounded good and did not roar in the cockpit.
