Headers w/better mount clearance than Flowtechs?

Anyone know if the Hookers or Hedman headers have better motor mount clearance than the Flowtechs? I just went to install the FTs and I'd have to clearance the heck out of the first tube or move the mounts...not gonna do either one. From the pictures, you can definitely see the problem with the Flowtechs...and the Hookers look far better.

This is kind of a cross-post from the post below to get a TTT; I'd like to get the other headers ordered TODAY.

THANKS!

Re: Headers w/better mount clearance than Flowtechs?

I have # 2452 Hooker comps on my longhorn, they fit nice. the pic you have posted looks like my headers ......no motor mount issues, the 1st tube goes over top instead of down in front. The collecters also tuck up tight on the bottom (hang about 2" below the rails). I like em well enough that I would do another set..... L

Thanks - that's exactly the information I was looking for. I think I'll pop for a set of these.

Billa, I have a set of hookers (p/n 2452) that are just taking up space still in the box.

I'll give you a sweet deal if you're interested
