exhaust manifolds

I have a 73 dart that i putting a 383 in and am wondering if anyone has made any other exhaust manifolds work other than a body ones that today cost as much as a house to by. I have looked at some hi-po c-body manifolds and they look like they would be really close to working.

I figure if i have to buy a body manifold i might as well just by a set of tti's

If the engine is going to have any balls go with headers. No reason to bother with manifolds unless you are going for a factory-stock appearance.
