With all the issues there are with headers - rusting, fit, performance, accessability, ease of installation, etc. it makes me wonder why someone hasn't started to produce a decent set of cast manifolds aimed at the street/strip guys. With today's casting technology you wouldn't think it would be that much trouble - cetainly no more labor intensive than welding pipe together.


I don't know why people have some many problems with headers. I've had several sets. Cheapos too. strip them and paint them w/ a good high heat paint and they last a looong time. Don't over torque the bolts and they won't leak, don't drive like a duke boy and they won't drag the ground. leave the mani studs in or use long header bolts w/ a tab of sealer and they won't drip coolant. I don't see why anybody (besides the #'s matching, FAST pure stock guys) would wanna run logs.
