if you don't mind the install, long tubes. i had to drop my k member down when doing mine, and those k member bolts are bitches to remove, the bolt it welded to a small metal piece that is suppose to keep it still, but it doesn't. My .02 cents is if you are going to put the work into headers you might as well put the better ones in the first time.
