Thanks, but is this for an E-Body car? What is your budget? Many folks look to TTI, but that is high dollar.  :22yikes:

It is for a B body but they take the same header according to the descriptions. I would like to find a pair for under $300. I know the TTi fit good but like you say- high dollar. I am concerned about the heads being a little different than stock.

Okayyy... Hopefully I can give you some helpful information, without insulting you.
First, I have nothing like your car.  So what I have to say may easily be debunked.  I have an e-body with a small block engine, magnum heads and a mini starter.  I went with Doug's Headers and haven't regretted it one bit.  The finish was amazing, they have thick flanges (that was very important to me), and the fit was perfect.  I did not have to thread my steering linkage through the pipes or remove my starter, and I have no problems clearing the spark plugs.  Having a gooseneck  ratchet adapter could've helped; the bolts were a bit hard to torque in a few places.  On summit racing I see Doug's makes headers for your application.  I would highly recommend them since they have an easy to install design, look great, and seem to have very good flow characteristics.  The only issue I had was that the reducers that came with them were too small, I wanted 2.5" and they were more like 2".  Check out part DOU-D451 or DOU-D451-R on summitracing.com.

Dougs / Thorley headers would be my second choice , TTI is first , the eddy heads do not seem to alter the fit of a header designed for stock heads , TTi fits so close to the floor they actually have a different header for the B[low deck] & RB [ high deck] blocks
