Default Cheapest Place to Buy Mid-length Headers

Cheapest I can find is the MAC website, which is still $479. I figure since I have the MAC cat, it should fit better than other brands. Tried the search button already but it wasn't a big help. Thanks.

The gaskets they have in the kit are **** i went to napa and got me some of those header gaskets that have like a lead coating on them,ive use that style for years now and when a header bolt loosens up and i get a leak i just tighten it up they are comparable to copper.Yeah i wish i had mine coated theres a place near where i live that do a coating called Cerma-Chrome and they said they would coat them for $150 since i have my motor out i might as well do it.Ive seen jet hot coating before wasnt to impressed.Ive had other sets of headers done at this place they are called "Cap's powder coating" they are in Fresno,CA and i know they do an internet discount of like 10%.

I thought the Pacesetter Mids from Summit were actually shorties(?). Correct me if I'm wrong.

Yeah i had bbk's and they were really shorties i got rid of them and swapped them for pacesetter's and they exit farther down than the bbk's,The bbk's didnt have a carb # and being here in cali thats what i was worried about.Edelbrock tes headers were the only others i found with a carb # and they were alot more than my budjet permited
