Default Headers on stock 76 l48

I already have dual exhaust bolted up to factory exhaust manifolds, but like most looking for more power. Are long tube headers worth the money and effort on a stock l48...or should I just save my money for other mods before exhaust since I already have duals

If you plan on more absolutely
Todays headers usually have thick flanges so no worries about leaks.
Love the sound.

Long tubes are definitely worth it....you will not see a huge increase of horsepower but the low end torque will increase dramatically......it also sets up for future mods.......
Vette headers are relatively easy to install.......they go in from the bottom up......
