Default Header Advice for '73

My '73 has a set of previous owner purchased mild steel headers on it. I would like to upgrade to a ceramic coated header that can lower under hood exhaust temps. and that gives good street performance. Any recommendations from forum members? I appreciate your advice.

I installed a set of Flow Tech ceramic coated headers on my 75 last winter and have been very happy with them. They do help to reduce the under the hood temps also.
They fit without any problems at all. I think they were around $300 or so.

The shine dulls a little over time but still looks better than a rusty or wrapped set of headers, helps reduce under hood temp also
