I installed a set of manzo shorty headers for a friend of mine, what a nice set of headers for the money. All stainless and nice and short. I installed them with percys gaskets and arp hardware but they came with decent gaskets and hardware, my buddy just bought that stuff for some reason. I also wrapped them for him (I always wrap headers) which is only $10-20 of mechanics wire and exhaust wrap, much easier to do when they are off the car, lol...
I was surprised how nice them headers were though, we towed the car to a local exhaust shop that made the rest of the system, he installed flow master mufflers and 3" all the way back, the motor didn't need 3" but he paid for it. When we went to pick it up that afternoon, it sounded awesome, even the muffler guy asked what kind of headers they were, when he found out they were $100 he was amazed. I am more of a cast iron manifold guy, I hate headers, I even use ci manifolds on all my abc hot rod builds (corvette ram horns, I have a few extra sets waiting for future projects), but them shorties were nice and the price was right. Long tube headers seem to make everything under the hood and in the car HOTTER, they are a bitch to fit when you buy universals, they can hang too low, seem to leak often, and imo don't look as good as other options...
Check them out, they may be something you will consider, he has had them for a bunch of miles now and no issues, he said the car breaths much better and has more power, I am not sure since when I drove the car I always went easy, since it s not my car...
