With those $135.00 Hedman headers, you are comparing apples to oranges. Those have the thinner, less desirable 1/4" flanges and are not coated. Take a look at the Hedman, Elite series of headers. They have the thicker, 3/8" flange and are ceramic coated. Also, in the middle, there are coated, thin flange Hedmans. No one has mentioned tube size. All the Hedmans have 1 5/8" primary tubes.

Good points. Also all the Hedmans i have see are not "tuned" headers.
The Hooker's are equal length tuned headers
