Default Headers?

Do C/C... S/S works Polishised Headers give that much more H/P than
H/H Headers do??? A big difference in price between the two!
For 1979 L82 400 s/b.

The Stainless Works 1963-1982 Corvette Headers have been proven to be the most powerful Corvette headers you can buy! These C2 & C3 Corvette Header Exhaust Systems have been tested on the dyno and made between 15 & 20 additional rear wheel horsepower consistently! The small block header exhaust systems are comprised of 1 5/8" tuned length primary tubes and a 3" high flow 3 bolt collector while the big block headers are 2" primaries with a high flow collector.

VS.

Hooker Headers #520-2456-1
Competition Headers
1955-82 Corvette 265-400
1-5/8" x 24" Primary Tubes
3" Collector
Metallic Ceramic Coating

Maybe on a high end motor turning a lot of rpms and making a lot of HP. On a stock or mild build a good set of headers is all that is needed.
