You could always use Fox Body headers, and either weld in a bung for the EGR or delete it.
A few... http://www.texashotrods.com/storefrontprofiles/deluxeSFshop.aspx?sid=1&sfid=70952&c=49678 (halfway down page)
Some other places to try are MAC, Hooker, Hedman, Coast High Performance.

Hooker has some real good pieces though they are a bit limited on variations. You could always have them custom made for a fairly reasonable fee.
So that is the only difference? Hell my car hasn't had EGR since I put the original HCI setup on it!
Which brand would you guys go with? I'm going to have the headers Jet hot coated. Hooker? BBK? or MAC?

With almost all the fox longtubes you try to install in a fox you will have issues with the steering shaft. If you are willing to pay someone to modify a few of the tubes and possibly shift the motor back a little then you can make them work. But, the Hooker long tubes aren't cheap either. For $200 more you can get a set of Kooks or Accufabs. You may spend that having the hooker modified. If your making enough power to need long tubes then its worth spending the extra for the right parts. With the shorty headers out there right now its not wothr the money or the hassle to do it for only 15 hp. I've made over 700 rwhp through a set of shorties. I've had the kooks also. At that poower level the kooks netted me about 30 rwhp.
Hmmm....what are the biggest shorty headers out there? Would the Accufab midlength headers give more power than the shorties? Also I have never delt with Kooks. I understand they are "custom". How can they be "custom" without your car there?

Whats the sizing on them? I was thinking about these...how do they install? Good or have to modify?

they have 1 3/4" primaries and 3" collectors. i am very happy with them, but my setup is so tight on the passenger side that my mechanic had to massage the header a little to get it to fit

because i had so many problems with the kooks hanging too low and i didn't want to move the o2 sensors so far back that they were not reliable for the tune

the audio quality of the camera isn't very good, but it gives you an idea of how it sounds
btw, my daugther added the description, not me
