What is a good set of headers????/
Answer: NO SUCH THING !!!!!



Obviously you never have installed a set of Doug's headers
I bought a set of Doug's D452's on my Savoy and they fit and look awesome Perfect finish and nice thick 3/8 thick flanges,work with my angle plug Indy EZ heads,gaskets still good since I bolted them on

Obviously , you don't do much street driving with that nice Savoy. Nothing wrong with headers for the strip to gain those few horsepower.
Its just my opinion I don't like headers for the street , just a nuisance !!!I've seen so many sets of headers being removed in my brothers garage in 35 yrs, It just turned me off from them .
BTW , I was using Thorley headers since the early 70s or so when he started working out of his own garage.
YOu have a nice savoy there Gus .




from all the information i have picked up i have seen that fulllength headers biggest benefit for a streetcar is NOT top end power,its the additional low end torque they make
also good welldesigned headers are not anykind of problem on the street,cheap poorly designed and built headers in combination with beat to death cars are what gives headers a bad reputation
