LT headers on a L-98
Any advice in a set of LT headers for an '89, stock engine with cat back exhaust, i do need the EGR hook-ups. I live in TX so we do have emissions 
, I think Hooker makes a set with the hookups.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated

The Hooker ceramic coated super competition 2149's with 1-3/4 tubes is what you're after. They have the EGR. They're what I got, I think I paid $549 at Summit with the ceramic coating.
The part # is HOK-2149HKR-1 make sure you add the -1 at the end for the ceramic coating to keep the underhood temps down and greatly extends life of headers.
Here's threads of my install...

By the way, the dogs are sniffing your butt in Irving??? 
I live in east Texas and have never been sniffed. I kept the EGR anyway as I believe it helps cool things a bit and deleting it offers no signifigant performance gains. It may clean up the engine bay a bit but thats about all.

I put the #2151s on my 90 coupe and it wasn't a picnic. I had to trim some heat shielding and grind the passenger side K member a little. But they are on. I don't know about you Dave but my Y Pipe is very close to my shift cable and the collector flange on the drivers side is very close to the trans tunnel. My car before ran a 13.91 very minor bolt on's w/2.59 rear. With the Headers installed it went 13.63 through a stock cat and mufflers. That valve cover paint makes em look just like they came from the factory.

It's a bit of a PITA this way if your working without a lift because it calls for like 4 times the trips under and out from under the car.
It sure seemed to help me line everything up though. I didnt have to grind any K members. And yes pipe, the Y pipe is close to the shift linkage, but not rubbing. I like the way the headers are up almost higher than the oil pan. No dragging or road clearance issues here.
