Headers vs. Exhaust Manifolds ~ 'Let The Debate Begin'
Never experienced any of those issues with my tti's.
And you won't.
But a lot of the "older" headers as mentioned in this thread were a huge pain the *** for rust and ground clearance. One of the reasons the 360 has manifolds on it, even with the engine being built the way it is, now, the engine saw duty as a year round daily driver for a while in a '72 Duster.
After the first year they were toast. The collectors were beat the **** out of from the pot holes. The salt tore 'em to pieces. At that point, when the engine was taken out and built to the old man's tune, he went back with manifolds. Yeah, he gave up some power, but it was a wash since any header on the market was going to take a beating due to piss poor roads and negate the reason for headers.
Now? Tti's are a different story as technology and demand have given way to headers that
fit, without having to route the suspension through the tubes, without having them hang so low as to take a pounding, without having to worry about piss poor welds coming over the flange.
This engine is currently sitting in my M-body. A-body Tti's will fit and that's the route I'll be going when it's re-installed.
