Had hooker long tubes and they were really tight on drives side. If I was to look again I would go Dougs.

Headers are a real PIA on pontiacs. Maybe think about repop long branch manifolds instead.

Any interest in tubular shorty headers that will basically be like the long Branch with a 2 1/2" outlet?

As mentioned in another topic, the oil filter is difficult to remove if you have headers - ask me how I know.
Another issue is I have to be very careful driving over speed bumps. I've remodeled/re-shaped my headers a few times.
If I had to do again, I'd go with the factory long-branch manifolds.

Friend has the oil filter problems with his Hedman headers
My hooker super comps have plenty of clearance to get the filter on and off.

Tigator,
You have any problems with the oil draining out of the filter lines back into the sump?
