Other headers will fit (MAC, BBK, Flowtech, etc)... just make sure you get matching pipe sizes - i.e. 2 1/2" Prochamber and 2 1/2" connector on the headers.

Btw, great choice with the Prochamber. I have an O/R Prochamber and I love it! I promise you will not be disappointed!

B/c they don't have connected flanges. They tend to warp over time and if you ever have to take them off they are hard to line back up. Solid connected flanged headers are the best way to go.

As long as you buy the correct header to match the type of mid pipe yes.

Meaning if you buy shorty headers, you have to buy a mid pipe for shorties. If you but long tubes, you have to but a mid pipe for l/t's. Those styles are not interchangable. Understand?

That one is for long tube headers. It won't fit shorties.
