Galaxie 390: Headers or Manifolds?

By Darren - 03/12/2003 5:35:35 PM; IP 24.126.117.21

Hi,

I need to replace both my manifolds as they are warped. After searching the world for headers, I found two that fit my car...the Hooker Super Comps and the Ford Power Train Applications. I went with FPA and they should be here next week.

have been told now by two different mechanics that I should expect a lot of leakage from Headers on a 390. They both recommended getting aluminum manifolds instead.

Is there anyone out there who knows this subject well? I would like the headers because they will increase HP and they look really cool! However, performance is most important and I will send them back if it means avoiding a huge headache.

Thanks for the advice!

This thread, so far...
