Thanks for the info.

No argument here, Ed. My response was directed at the same party as yours. Which is why I said your reply wasn't the "knock".

What you say is not a "knock" on us old folks. I believe the reference relates to the experience one gains with age. Especially with us old geezers who've turned more than our share of wrenches, and have learned from the really old geezers what works. Be it a hotrod, a dragster, or just plain...

You are correct as to "each his own". I just prefer headers, and the benefits they provide.

I've have headers on a '79 CJ7, 360 V-8. They've been on this engine for more than 30 years (thru two rebuilds). In all that time, not a single problem with leaks and no rust-thru. The reason they were installed in the first place? Both cast iron manifolds cracked when the Jeep turned two years...

Nevermind...looked it up. Man, it's tough not being political on this site. But respect the wishes. I am perfectly capable of burning my own burgers.

Got a source for this?

I've owned 23 vehicles in my lifetime. Every one but 3 had a V-8. Every one but 3, had/ has headers. There's many benefits to running a good quality set. Weight and ease of repair being the biggest. (P.S. ---- I'm 69)... Don't worry about the burger. After 4 days in the mail, it probably...

Many overlook the benefits of a custom set of headers. They are comparably priced and if you find a good builder, he can overcome many of the problems associated with vehicle serviceability. I had a set custom built and had to pull the Turbo 400 out from under the tight confines of a Jeep CJ7...

Just an FYI... The Dodge Viper ran side pipes from 1992 to 1996. From there they went to a single muffler dual exhaust. Too many were burning their legs getting out or the car due the deep bolsters on the seats, and the little extra effort of egress. My ex-boss being one of the victims.

Not when you ain't got no choice. LOL. Had to run mine out the side. To answer 70 sublime, Yes they are 'louder' and can get annoying with the incorrect muffler. I use a seldom mentioned brands on my build. Bassani is a "built for racing" muffler, and have engineered their internals to howl at...

May be a little late to the party, here, but have you considered a custom set? Mine are, and didn't cost any more than an off the shelf brand.

Custom on mine, but a special application. Paid $300.00 for the set. Flanges and mufflers were not included in that price.

Hey Ron, Tried recording a sound byte from my phone. Sounded like crap. Found one on YouTube-

I love the rumble of a rarely named muffler. Bassani. I have them on all three of my vehicles. http://www.bassani.com/mufflers/
