Hello I don't know if this will help, but i bought headman ceramic coated shorty's from summit about two years ago, they worked out great, I think I paid about $400. for them. good luck

I have these 3/4 length Sandersons I bought from ECE cheaper than you can get them from Sanderson. I think they were originally designed for a Camaro but they fit our trucks really well. It's a minor challenge to route the left side from the collector past the tranny shift linkage but it's doable. I've been running them now for about 7 months and the finish is holding up really well. The flange is machined so you don't have to run gaskets, only a little but of sealant. I used studs and have only had to tighten them once, right after the initial run, since then they have stayed tight. They were a little pricey but I firmly believe you get what you pay for.

Thanks for the replies guys, jholly the sandersons look sweet, they are pricey but have already done the cheap header thing, not worth it!! looks like its the sandersons!

Oh, btw, I run these boots to protect the wires. They work great. You can find them at Summit or Jegs or Speedway Motors...

Just in case anyone is looking at these sandersons for a manual trans with a stock Z bar, they WILL NOT fit. The dump on these headers is right at were the Z bar comes across from the frame to the engine pivot....
Just hope this may help someone out as I had theese headers which were sweet but did not fit around my manual Z BAr..

I'm also running the sandersons jholley is running. I've had them for about a year and a half now with no problems.

Re: help! shorty headers
 

NINERS1- can you measure the diameter of the tubes on the headers and post the size?. I have been told they are only 1.5" but the pic makes them look bigger. Thanks

Re: help! shorty headers
 

Yea, they are 1.5 ''. brought a 3'' hole saw home from work today to drill out my crossmember for my new pipes!!!
