Anyone used these headers?
Here are the pictures of my headers. I initially had long tube headers and the whole reason I went to these headers is because I wanted to lower the car and I needed the ground clearance. When I had these headers put on I gave the guy at the exhaust shop strict instructions to get me as much ground clearance as he could, and that it didn't have to look pretty.
The first picture shows that there is a lot of room between the small starter I have and the header, but not so much room between the starter and the exhaust pipe. In the second picture you'll notice that the exhaust pipe goes above the steering components. The long tube headers have 1 tube that goes below the center link, which kills the ground clearance. Notice that the pipe coming out of the header is smaller than the rest of my exhaust. He couldn't get 2.5" pipe to fit around all the steering components, so he had to go with 2.25". The third and fourth pictures show how the pipe makes a severe turn right after coming out of the header. There are also a couple pictures on the right side, but that is not as much of an issue.
These headers are good quality... they have a nice thick flange and thick wall tubing. BUT, if ground clearance is not an issue for you then go long tube. They cost about $200, they sound great, and will give you great torque. I think the ones I used to have were hookers. They weren't super high quality, but they go the job done. If clearance is an issue I would officially recommend that you to save your money and get TTI headers, but if you want to try to do it on the cheap these pictures show that it is possible!
