opinions on hooker headers

.....
One odd thing I noticed about them though is the center ports are raised about 1/4" higher than the end ports so their not lined up real well with the head ports, the bolts line up but not the ports??? ...
....

I had expensive 5208's that had exactly the same problem, but the entire flange was drilled too high causing the gasket to blow at the top of every port. If I knew that I would have redrilled them, but I sold them and then noticed the problem, I forwarded the info and the buyer said no problem..thanks buyer !
