Headers vs. Exhaust Manifolds ~ 'Let The Debate Begin'
Brand 'X' Headers
* Appliance Headers
* Black-Jack Headers
* Cragar Headers
These 'Brand-X' Headers were 'The Bargain Headers'.
The tubing, bends and collectors were fine, but the 'welds' around the
port-openings of the 'Header-Flange' were usually atrocious.
And sometimes the 'Flange-Headers' were not square {'Exhaust Leak City'}.
Still, for a low-cost Header {sometimes $89.99} on a weak street machine, they gave you a decent sound and a guarantee of some additional Horsepower ^^^.
And, the 'Chicks' loved the decals. They always made your Car go faster.
