I guess it depends upon how efficient you want the headers. I like my '74s, but supposedly SSIs work better because they're true equal length and have more of a custom fit for the size engine you're running - hence there are sizes above and below 3.0.
Headers are good because they're about ten pounds less - no heat shrouds. But you have no heat. When exhaust starts getting up into the above $2K bracket, I start to think about Maui instead.

Well thanks to all of you for the advise.So I guess the only real option is to fabricate a set of heat exchangers for my headers.Will let you know how it goes.
