Don't waste your time with shorty headers. Longtubes make the power. Now if you go with flowtech to Schoenfeld is up to you. But skip the shorties. They make real headers that fit for g bodies.

The best bang for the buck is Shoenfeld headers - I've also run Dyno-max, and Hooker - all installed fairly well but if you go with Hooker Super Comps (2242) you have to cut your inner fender wells a little to get them to fit and get your car really high. As Injectedcutty said the trans are the same length.

Yea,I have been leaning towards long tube anyways.:)
Long tubes are great...i loved my hooker comp long tubes, just wanted to go with a different setup on redoing my engine. The hedman "shorties" are actually mid length and exit at the bottom of the engine. Both handle power and both ARE REAL headers made for g bodies! As with all hotrodding, choose what suits your preference and give er hell Mike!!

When you post, click upload a file then filter through gallery, then usually i think dcim, then photos. Hope this helps!

You could look into the Iceman Crossmember also. He can make it for whatever setup you are running. He makes them from chromoly. Very light and a great price. The one in the pic is mine, he made it for a 4L80e in an 85 cutlass.
