The first thing you need to find out is whether they even make headers for the Lt1 and for the subject year and number of cats.
And if you are subject to emissions, are they legal?
If they fit and are legal, are they mild steel or SS? (If lyou live in a wet area, you should probably get Coated or SS.
Are they 1 5/8 or 1 3/4?
Do you need a Y pipe or will they bolt up to stock Y Pipe?
I've not heard anyone who has gone with that brand, for some reason or another.
So the answer is don't buy them if they don't meet your requirements.JMHO

I notice you are from Grand Rapids, MI. I highly advise you get ceramic coated regardless of whether you go with mild steel or SS.
You can order headers already coated or you might find a better deal with a local outfit with a good rep.
I recommend gettin some used SLPs (if you are going with Short Tubes. If coated, even better. Slps are SS.
I remember one time when my foot went through the floor board of my sister's car (who lived in Grand Rapids). MI is the rust capital of the world, in my opinon. BTW, born and raised in Lansing.

I had edelbrock headers on my 91 Camaro. They were not coated, and although I didn't have any major problems, I would highly recommend a coating if you plan on keeping them. I don't have anything to compare them to, but I was satisfied with the gain in power.

I've got Edelbrocks and they run well. I'm the original owner of my 1995 Z28 1LE. The Edelbrocks are CARB legal and 1 5/8. I had my ceramic coated from Edelbrock and they are still GREAT since 1995! I recommend them and the O2s fit in the factory locations. Add the Off-Road Pipe and you're really moving...
