Does anyone have any experience with the Hedman 351 swap headers? I was looking around on the Jet hot site and saw that the offer them.

The ones I used are the slip on type where the pass side front tube runs under the engine crossmember. They did fit well but were extended to low for my liking. The flanges scrape on mine as well when I hit a bump (my suspension needs upgrading and is spongy).
The driver side needed massaging to clear the steering rod. Other than that, they are ok. I do plan on removing them this winter and shortening them up so they dont hit the pavement. I will have cut the firewall and floor pan to get them tucked up nicely.
Oh, I also had to alter the trans mount to clear the drivers side exit port of the header.
Used Flowmaster 40 series mufflers and it sounds good.
Kind of a pain but no big deal.
I would like to see the pics of what everybody else has done.
