My latest set required some massaging on the passenger side due to interference problems with the frame. http://www.summitracing.com/parts/HOK-2116-1HKR/

EVERY set of headers that you put on will require taking out the "crash bars" underneath your car. Not sure of the exact term for these, but they are useless IMO & just add weight to the front end.

Here's a good read on sizing though:

I like the $165.00 ones best...holy crap the others are almost $700 affraid

I scored them for $200 on Ebay a few years ago. Some minor wear on the ceramic coating but still very much worth the price.

Jared, here's an older thread on Headers:
http://www.g3gm.com/t930-what-headers-and-why

If you search back in the G3tech section, a lot has been covered already. The "ECU" thread had a lot of newb info in it if memory serves me well. http://www.g3gm.com/t937-ecu Those Summit headers you asked about, I couldn't tell you how they are without knowing who manufactures them. IMHO though, if you are only buying them because they are cheap, then go look on RacingJunk, Craigslist, Ebay, or a swap meet for a used set. You can run across a used set of good headers for less than those. I just sold my spare set of Hookers for nearly nothing.
