Stock 340 Manifolds or TTI Shorties?

When I was young I loved headers. Put up with the continuous gasket leaks, lack of spark plug access, difficulty in changing starters, burnt spark plug wires, smashed tubes; I was young. Now, everything I have has the stock manifolds. Your priorities change over the years.
The TTI shorties fit almost perfect, and will not leak. They make a nice, quality header. But you'll really need the TTI headpipes that go with them. Only place I had fitment issues was at the kickdown linkage on the transmission. It's pretty easy to modify, or just use a Lokar kit. I have no idea on the performance. I never had a chance to compare them to stock manifolds.
