Header advice
I would have to agree with what has already been said here several times.. If I had to do it all over again, I would keep the manifolds on and save for TTI's or Dougs... (in fact one of these years I will upgrade to those).. I went with Hooker's because they were cheap.. I dont have much of a car budget and I wanted headers... the drivers side was a total face melting pain in the *** to install, with clearance issues around the steering box.. Havent had a problem with wires getting burnt.. but trying to get to the header bolt closest to the firewall on the drivers side is a nightmare... then theres that low hanging problem.. I visually dont mind being able to see the header hanging low.. but be prepared to drive slow as it will freaking hit EVERYTHING.. lol... All in all, they're cheap, affordable and will do the job... but.. this is probably one area not to buy the cheap stuff.. lol..
