hooker supercomps are probably the best you can buy, but they arent cheap either.

if hedman makes torque-step headers for the foxes that would be a good choice, or anything in a tri-y design would be a good performer

#1, any thing 'Flow-tech' is a POS.
#2 Hooker makes very good headers..
#3 If you have the money, get Bassani step headers, very, very nice.........
