You guys got me scared of tti headers!

Just get the long-tubes with an H already.
After they're on, you'll never regret it it. Drive them for a week and you'll forget all about the fussing. After a year of quiet leak-free service you will be a happy camper. After 3 years still never having had to tighten the manifold bolts, and never smooshed a pipe on a speed bump, despite hammering over them,these early days will be a distant fading memory. At the 12 year mark, now on the second set of gaskets, and maybe sealing the merges a time or two,you will be right here on FABO,extolling them. After 18 years, hmmmmm, Hyup, I'm still impressed. I paid $495(uncoated),a lotta cash for me, in 99, I think the first year they came out. That works out to $27.50 per year. By the year;the cheapest headers I ever bought.
Oh, and btw, the first 5 years they were on there, the car was a 4-seasons DD. At the 15 year mark, they had over 100,000 miles on them, probably closer to 120,000.
