Hugger Headers

[heavy71chevy]

I was looking for some feedback on hugger headers. I'm putting a new SBC 350 in my 71 Chevelle and was wondering if anyone had put on hugger headers. Wondering about clearance and performance. I know longer header primary tubes are better performance-wise, but I'm thinking more about using hugger headers or the factory exhaust manifolds. The engine has stock heads and around 325hp. I have power steering and the factory air box on the firewall (although I don't have any A/C as of yet). Just wondering about your guys opinions before I go out and buy any kind of headers.

Thanks.
