I am interested in putting side exhaust on my 72 small block. I have looked through some of the older posts to try to find out which kind would work the best. There is a "new" company that sells stainless for about half of Hooker. I like the shine of chrome but do not like the discoloration. Ceramic sounds good but according to other threads, does not last. Any suggestions or advice would be greatly appreciated. I do not have much to spend so am looking for the best value here.

Thanks

I bought the ceramic coated (Jet Hot) ones three years ago. They look great but they are a lot of work. Rock chips tend to rust.

What is the name of the company with the stainless less than Hooker?

They are a company called xs-power. I tried to look at their web site but non of the links seem to work. Could be my computer though.

Thanks

Stainless, no more worries.

Stainless.
My headers showed up today, side tubes on back order.
They look sweet.

I would go with stainless Hooker headers. That's what I'm planning on going with when I'm ready for side mounted exhaust.

Has anyone heard of xs-power before? They said the side exhaust without mounting hardware is $900 for forum members. I am just being cautious as this is about half of what Hookers cost. I am a firm believer in "if something sounds too good to be true it usually is". If this is a good deal please let me know. There is a video posted on the forum about these pipes and they look and sound great!

Thanks
