Who makes good headers (that don't leak) that will fit on a SBC 350 w/Vortec heads in my YJ?

How about design-wise? Should I get shortys? block huggers? fenderwell exit? Tri-Ys? Are those cool ceramic coatings really worth the money?

Help!

Thanks,
Jake Harsha

Advanced adapters carries slick fit and they are the best....5/16" head flanges that won't warp and are garanteed....
I bought a set for my last motor and they kicked ass and The flange Never leaked!
Now I'm putting in a sb 350 and ordered set of Block huggers ...$230 chromed...
The last set were chromed fenderwell headers and the coating held up tits , made for a good resale value;) .
You can get painted for $200 ....for $30 buck I go chromed..

Whatever you buy make sure the flange is at least 5/16" and your leak problem will be solved.

NOT Headman headers! Thoes are the biggest waste of money (i got mine free but that’s not the point!) i have the HCT coated ones the "reduce heat" and "don’t rust" ya my ass! mine are rusty as hell and leak like an old boat, i also have a temp gauge that you just point and it tells you the temp. They were just as hot as my buddy’s headers on the same motor.

I've just ordered a set of block huggers (cheap ones $62 ebay) I'm not sure if they willl fit with my bobmproof motor mounts if they do I'll buy a better set when I warp the flanges (they are probably 3/16" or something retarted like that) I'll let you know how they fit, I'm running low on the $ now so I'm gonna do entire exhaust myself.

Has anyone tried summit's own brand of block huggers? I am thinking about using these. Link (http://store.summitracing.com/default.asp?target=search.asp%3FType%3Dbykeyword%2 6Part%3Dblock%20hugger%20headders%26Search.x%3D1%2 6SearchType%3DBoth) How do they clear the side motor mounts? (not the stock ones but aftermarket or homemade ones.)

http://www.novak-adapt.com/catalog/headers.htm has these.
Can't comment on experience but they sound good.
Chevrolet Small Block V8, #CC158 $215
Shorty, Block Hugger-Style. Larger 1-5/8" tubes flow well. Collector is 3". Fits nearly every Jeep application. Their tight design aids in clearing steering components and frame.
