Default What's the Best Header for my '80 L48?

I'm going to install a fresh set of Dart Iron Eagle 180cc heads and am giving serious consideration to ceramic coated headers. My first choice is the Dynomax header that is HTC coated inside and out; all for about $210. The second is the Hedman 'hedder' that is coated on the outside only and costs another $100 (don't know why they don't coat the inside).

Looks like I'll be adding my smog pump, AIR pipes and hoses to my time-capsule containing my rear y-pipe, converter, heat shield and such...

The question is: who makes the best headers for my application? Primary consideration given to quality, longevity and ease of installation. Looks like I'll be chopping into those true duals I just installed...

Thumbs up for Hookers. Ceramic coated, 1 5/8. They look great and really give it a punch :boxing :cool:

Expect you will get Hedman which are available for the air pump, that's why the Calif. guys have them.
