Header Recommendation

I'd like to get a nice set of longtubes (as most here say is best), but what brand? I've seen several folks on here say Pacesetters. At Summit, Pacesetter longtubes are right at $300. Flo-tech's are around $150, but what I'm interested in are either Hedman or Hooker. Those two brands are the most recognizable and prices between the two are maybe a $10-$15 difference.

Can anyone give me any help here? Hedman or Hooker? Also, what is the difference between street and competition headers?


Thanks for any help!
-Cody

I've always cheaped out and purchased the Flowtech brand and have had not had any fitment issues with a variety of power plant and truck combos.

I have Hedman midlength headers on mine. Nice fit and fair price. I ordered mine from summit racing and I am very satisfied. A friend of mine has a Chevelle with Hooker headers and they fit great with a great sound. I think it just depends what you prefer as a brand.
