Heard of em, junk. If you're looking at hedman's I would imagine you're concerned with the price. Just get some pacesetters and clean them up.

hedman actually has a quality line of headers they are called the elite series and I had a set on my 454SS truck. They were ceramic coated inside and out. Great fitment too. I'm not sure on their LSX series though.

a friend of mine installed some on his 01 Z28 and they fit but not like the pacesetters do. he had to jack the motor up to get them on, flanges are crap, etc.

I helped install a set of Pacesetters on an 02 Firehawk, and they fit really well. They seemed to be built pretty well too. I even installed a set of Pacesetters on my Lightning, with the same good results.

Hey,.. I just remember something. I'm gonna ask you guys with pacesetter or any other LTs if you had to do this also. Did any of you have to abuse your firewall to get em in? I had to bang the **** out of mine to get em in!
