That is a nice looking car!! I get the temper, I call it mission creep. I know a guy that makes custom stainless headers if you ever wanted to spend the money. It sure wasn’t cheap, but It’s the best part of my engine. But I have plenty of room in my cuda. He has made headers for lots of original mopar cars that I thought weren’t possible. His headers are a work of art.
Maybe a getting a little off topic but Jon Kasse says it is very important to use stainless headers or headers that are well coated inside the pipes.
Why? He says rust from the pipes get sucked back into the engine. He said sometimes as far back as the carburetor.
I recall seeing that. He said it occurs at startup and to rev the engine as soon as possible when starting. Reversion tends to suck the debris back up into the plenum. They were finding rust up there and couldn't figure it out.
Dude has done more testing than 99% of the people out there.
