Screw the shorty headers, the reason you use full length header ls is because the long tubes make torque and shorty headers aren’t worth jack on our rides. There fine for a high boy if need be but after that, worthless!!!!!!!!!
The best fitting and thickest flange header I have used are the Summit headers. I won’t go back to Hooker anytime soon and it’ll probably be in dire need, like a gun to my head before I use them again along with a host of other thin flanged (5/16 garbage) crap fitting headers.
Use header bolts a 1/4 inch longer.
