After a very long time and many inquiries about various headers fit, specifically ground clearance on my LOW '81, out of necessity I bought these headers. They're a mid length ceramic coated header. I put them in tonight and although the installation is not complete, the headers are fully bolted in. So here's my review so far.
The good: They do fit really well and clear almost everything with ease. If you have a stick, like mine, the Z-bar does hit one of the primaries. But this would be no problem at all with an automatic.
Ground clearance is excellent. These dump above oil pan level and the collector is angled back at about 60 degrees so getting pipes tucked up tight will be pretty easy.
The bad: Aside from the aforementioned Z-bar issue, the only concern I can really see is the flanges are not particularly thick. I'm thinking 1/4" on the block and 1/4", at best, on the collector. The only other thing that might be a concern for some of you is that they're just a 2.5" collector. That's probably plenty big enough for anything under 400hp, but if you're making more than that, you may want larger exhaust.
I know many of you would prefer a full length but since I can't seem to get information on clearance, these are a pretty good if you're worried about low pipes.
