Headers!!!

These things are driving me crazy! I am currently porting and polishing the heads on my 98 cobra. So ive decided to purchase a set of headers. I currently have a Dr. Gas X pipe w/ spintech mufflers, and I love the sound. I would like to keep this setup, and that is were I have a problem. It seems for the 98 cobras most companies are only offering Long Tube design, the only company ive seen that makes equal length short tubes is JBA and they want a 1000 bucks for those. . But I came upon a pair of Ford Racing Shortie Headers that I can get ceramic coated for under 500 bucks. This i figure solves the problem of having to order Long Tubes, then a shorter X pipe, and have to redo the whole system. My question to you guys is, is it worth it for the Frpp headers, and how do they compare to stock? Or should i go with Long tubes and a short X pipe because it makes a substantial increase, and worth the extra cash? Any help or info would be appreciated

So the Ford Racing Headers, would be better than stock??
