Default Who's running Ultimate Headers? Feedback?

I'm interested in the Ultimate Headers for my Cutlass but would love to find someone that has used them (especially for an A-body). Anybody out there with feedback? At that price I'd really have to know they'd be the bomb. Also, anybody running the Hooker blackheart mid-length for an A-body? I'd actually prefer a mid-length but the Ultimate Headers mid-length isn't available for A-bodies. I currently have the BRP mounts and my engine sits up a bit higher; originally with my install I tried the Doug's headers but the collector was up into the floorpan with them.
TIA for any feedback.

Have no experience with UH, they look nice but long tubes aren't something I'm interested in these days.

Ultimate makes a mid-length. Well, they used to anyway.

I can offer you confirmation that the Hooker Blackheart mid-length headers with fit your car well, but I can't say if they will clear your engine mounts since they were developed to fit with the Hooker Blackheart LS engine mounts for the same application.

Full disclosure: That's my listing. Could knock $30 off if you wanted to skip ebay.

They are pricey. I got a set and they look good but most the welds are not full pen and just look pretty. Also the DS flange does not sit flush on the head and may need to be resurfaced but not sure until I get mine going. I emailed them about this issue and have not heard back? Guess you buy them then they put you on the back burner...
