Default looking into headers

I am thinking about getting a set of headers for my 91. I found this set on E-bay. click here I have e-mailed the guy about specifics on them ( I just haven't heard back from him yet) Does anyone have any idea what brand these may be and/or if they are any good?

JUNK Seems most people on the forum are running Exotic Muscle or TPIS or Hooker. I have heard no negativ's on aney of theas. Don't skimp on headers.

There's a GP on the "selling thread" for Exotic Muscle Long Tube coated headers going on right now. Get over there and join that group buy before it closes out. LOL

Hedman headers not work well with your D port heads. If you had an 85-87 weekend car they'd be the best choice. Go with Hooker. I've heard good things about them. Or if you have money to burn, grab a set of TPIS headers.

Hooker has your best bargain at the moment. They are durable and good on performance. If you really have an itch to spend some jack, buck up for the Exotic Muscle GP that's going on. If you are really curious, hit up CFI-EFI and honestly ask his opinion. This is a heated topic for him, but he knows his ****. I'd take his words to the bank.

This particular eBay seller, sells a lot of Hedmans but these don't appear to be them. For one thing, in the text they claim to be coated inside and out. None of Hedman's headers are coated on the inside, even their Elite series. I don't think the Hookers are either, but I'm not 100% sure about that. Did he ever answer your email yet?
