Headers for a '79 - What is the best value?
The old, ceramic headers are finally needing replacement. I have a 350ci with straight exhaust (no cats). I already have an estimate from a local shop. They want $500 for ceramic headers (don't know the brand) and installation. This sounds incredibly cheap. Am I getting junk? Should I just go back to a manifold/downpipe set-up? The shop says I will only lose about 5% of my power, but gain alot of reliability. They say manifold bolts won't come loose like they do on headers.
Opinions?
