whats your budget? what are the specifics of the engine and car? hookers seem to work well if you have the cash, i always thought of them as the "go to" header choice. i have them in my 71. thats of course if you have the cash for a nice set.
Headman Elites have 3/8" flanges and are ceramic coated but will set you back around $400...
Unfortunately you have to spend $$$ for non-leaky headers with flanges that won't warp.
My suggestion is to buy another decent set for around $250 and buy some really nice gaskets, copper or something that won't blowout and cause uneven heating which leads to warpage.

schoenfeld. cant have an air conditioning box tho. http://www.schoenfeldheaders.com/drag.htm second one down they r fairly priced and have good flanges i went from a cheap set of headmans to these with 1 3/4 primary
I used them also but I currently use Flowtech. I cant remember the name or model number but for $90 you cant beat it and there even made to fit Gbodys.87ttop said:
I have always used Flowtech and have never had fitment issues. They are a good cheap header. As long as you are not using them in a show car, they would be my #1 choice.
I am considering buying the Flowtech Afterburner headers for my Regal this summer. It will definitely be done after I get about a 1,000 miles or so on my engine and the exhaust temperatures are consistant. I want them to keep their coating on them

Yea I caught sh*t from some of my "buddies" for not using Hookers or something more popular but I saved a ton of money for something that does the same job, but yea after about 3 or 4 months the black coating burned off and now they look like hell, but no leaks!RITTER said:I have always used Flowtech and have never had fitment issues.

The problem with cheapo headers like Flowtechs is that you're taking a chance on whether they'll fit well or not. They were of course designed to fit, but due to poor quality control, you may end up with a set that simply will not fit correctly. On the other hand, you can get lucky and get a set that does. It's a gamble.
Better quality headers are also less prone to leaking and generally last longer too.
