Default Macs or Hooker headers?

Guys i already have a hot cam and my next step is headers. I'm getting the headers coated from speed inc. and i'm going with off-road set-up.
I want to know which are the best in performance, price, clearence (my car is lowered), easy fit and rust-free, between the macs and hookers? <img border="0" alt="[USA]" title="" src="graemlins/patriot.gif" />

I have Macs and thing they are a great value. Probably better for a lowered car then LTs. Great fit, no banging of Y-pipe, etc... I installed them myself not long ago (never having done headers before) and it was easy, just time consuming. I got mine for $499 with ORP delivered.

BTW, how is the hotcam? That's the next mod I'm planning....

Thanks!

the hookers will net more power than the macs. LT's always make more power than Mid's. The clearance of the Hookers are great also b/c they are slip fit. you wont have any problems especially with the ORP. I've got Jet Hot LT's(copied from hookers) and a 3" y pipe with cats in it. I haven't scraped anything yet and i'm lowered 1.5".

I say hookers. If you are going to take the time to install headers why not go long tubes so you dont have to do it again later. I have hookers and they were super easy to install. I would get the hookers because i guess people are having problems with the jet hots and the k members.
