Small Block header questions

I went to Jegs for my Hooker headers and there dual exhaust system from header to bumper.
Painted headers, $174, scroll half way down;

Jegs 2-1/2 exhaust, $190,

At $364, it's not a bad start. You can also add a "H" pipe for about $35 on a 2-1/2 pipe size. http://www.jegs.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/product_10001_10002_751638_-1_11525

First picture below show the super tight area where the pipe touched at the bottom of the steering box. Not a big problem though. Just a royal pain. Nothing new.
The Hookers fit well with a minor denting at the steering box down low.

Other than tti's, all headers will need to be dented someplace.
