I Hate My Hooker Headers! haha well i installed Shorties and omg they ******* blow! 1st off cylinder 7's spark plug wire gets burned up every 30 minutes cause of the poor design. I have gone through 7 wires, then me and my dad were like **** this. We are ripping these off and putting on LT Pacesetters. 
So now im in the process of removing the Hookers and putting the new Pacesetters on! 
Heres a pick. I am only 16 so yahh lol.

damnit i just bought some of those hooker headers like that but they are coated and look a little bit longer but not like the long tubes in your pic if you holding one of them. those things look pretty serious man
and if you route the wires correctly 
You just bought the mid lengths probably. I run the hooker super comps, 3600 degree jet hot coated inside and out with the factory routing and didnt burn one plug wire. Granted the jet hot coateing helps out a lot with outside temperatures. These were the bought from auto zone longer than needed OE replacement. The stock plugs are long gone now but it can be done with the hooker headers. It just takes time to make sure that you will not have an issue. Also running the heat sleeves does wonders when it comes to close wire. BTW i love my hookers. They brought my car to life and sound great.

2. just a guess but 10-20, depending on your build
3. It will sound like it's fueled by dying babies through a stock catback
4. never BUY shorties hahaha
