    hooker 6901, hedman 88300 (i think) are said to have the best fit and i run the 6901's myself and was very pleased with the fitment..... and long tube vs' short tube is an age old debation and it pretty much boils down to personal preference, but i like long tubes.

    the only header issues you will have is if ur car is column shift, but other members have found ways around that.
