Default Headers

Thank you for the response. I am new here and I am not sure what that meant. There are header pics below, is that something you sent or just an add?

I'd also recommend TPIS. I went with Hooker 2149s when I put them in my old 91. The Hookers were fine, but they will require you to fabricate brackets for the alternator and AC. The TPIS headers have built in bosses on the mounting holes which allow you to use your factory brackets. I only went with the Hookers because at the time they were far cheaper. It seems that nowadays they're both about the same price, so going with the TPIS headers seems like a no brainer.
