I just wanted to mentioned a few thinks about getting headers reproduced. We have to realize that we are working with an Engine design that has been out of production for over 50 years. Its going to be very difficult to put cost effective and custom exhaust, headers, intake, etc. in the same sentance. Unfortunately this is not a small block chevy motor where we can get a good set of headers for $150-$200. If you really want a good set of headers made, you'll need to find a good fabricator with a great reputation. This goes a long way. You want to make sure the person who is making them, knows what they are doing. You want them to fit right, look right, perform right and most of all, last a long time. The last thing you want to do is cheap out on a pair of headers that don't fit right. If they don't fit right, they are not going to perform right and if they don't perform right, its a waste of money. If you really want a good set of headers made, be prepared to spend between $700 and $1500 depending on regional location, header material, etc. I am not trying to ruffle any feathers, thats the last thing I want to do. I am just trying to set a reasonable idea of what to expect if you are looking to get a good header made. I spent $800 just to have my exhaust routed from my exhaust manifold out to rear of the car and another $300 to have my cracked exhaust manifold repaired. Thats the price you pay to have things done the right way.
