You'll regret buying a header with a 1/4" flange, and their ball and socket collector is some sort of joke, if those flanges were 1/2" thick it might work.

I've used Hedmans before with no problems, but the ball and socket type I have them on my truck, they're garbage.

Cheap and Quailty do not belong on the same sentence.

I hated the headmans on my 98 TA, drivers side primary tube still banged on the k member when the engine would lope, even after trimming pretty much all of the k member lip. Driver side collector was kicked out to the outside of the car big time and was also very close to the floor. Ball collector was a joke and is anything z would think it would hinder flow.... But on a good note the actual bolting of them to the block and sliding them in was easy!!!!!
