Default Headers, Which Ones?

I have a mostly stock 1992 Manual Coupe. I decided to do exhaust headers preferably shorties because it has to pass emissions. Which ones are the best of the best. Thanks in advance :steering:

Although you'll gain some horsepower out of shorties I wouldn't waste the time. For the best power gain longtubes are the only way to go. They don't cost much more than shorties and will give you substantial gains. They can also be made to pass emissions IF you don't have to pass a visual inspection.

I've had nothing but good experiences with Hooker headers. The other brands seem to bring good results as well but for the extra money they don't yield any extra performance.
