		| RE: Headers V's Cast Iron Exhaust manifolds |

		I was wondering the same thing.  I have Hooker Super-Comp's on my 67 Mustang.  They bottom out like crazy, but they don't leak :-)  I put bolts in every hole I could get to.
  I've never seen any dyno numbers for the FE, but the magazines (I'm sure you've seen this) claim anywhere from 7-15 hp by swapping out the factory 5.0 headers for aftermarket.  I don't know about you, but 15 hp isn't worth the headaches at every speed bump.
  Does anyone have headers on an FE in a Mustang/Cougar that doesn't bottom out?
  I guess another option is the factory cast iron headers.  Unfortunately they must be made of gold (weight + cost).  |
