I had the hedman LT's & ORY on my t/a I cant complain about the headers & I liked the stepped design but the ory sucked fitted like crap on my car but tucked decent on a buddy's of mine camaro who I sold the setup to but the merge is still crappy so if you get the hedmans don't get the ory get one with a true y merger.

^This. I have no experience with the Hedmans, but the BBKs I have are great! Fitment is second to none, ORY they come with has good clearance, and even the chrome still looks great 2+ years later. Easiest set of headers I've ever installed on an F-body, bar-none.

i had ordered ebay stainless headers, they went in perfect, but i never used them. sitting in my garage, I just ordered a full stainless kit headers back true duals from kooks!!!!!! thats not a budget kit for sure though. I would have picked bbk over those two brands however the ebay stainless i got are actually much better and look nicer. for 200 dollars ??? who cares if its a no name brand they work beautifully.!!! im selling mine if anyone cares... ill give thtem away for 150 + shipping. LATER

i had hedhams years ago..had fitment issues(ypipe bangin/driver side hittin etc) took awhile to get it right..i know this can happen with other brands with install,but another thing you have to keep in mind that the hedmans are NOT full 1 3/4 but rather 1 5/8 stepp to 1 3/4..i rplace them with hooker 1 7/8

Ws6store.com right now for the BBKs. Dirt cheap and fit great. If you have the $ get kooks or ARH.
