I would have to agree with Bob on this one. About ten years ago, I decided
to replace the manifold on my 71BGT with headers, for performance purposes.
Granted, I ordered a cheap header from J.C.Whitneys. But when it arrived,
it was obvious that the stock exhaust manifold was far superior. The
headers did not look like they would have offered much more air flow. The
material was less durable, the seal against the head would have been
suspect, and some modifications would have been needed.
I sent the header back and have never thought about headers again (except
on my Toyota Landcruiser, but thats another story).
