Default BEST HEADERS

What do you think the best headers are for a C-3 corvette.

I run the Hedman Elite thermal coated headers on my '77. They look and fit great, underhood and interior temperatures (because of the thermal coating) are greatly reduced, and are easy to install. I'm not sure about a power increase, because I did my whole exhaust at once. I've heard about 10 horsepower though. The Hooker headers are the best, but the thermal coated ones start at $470 :eek: . The Hedman's a I have are $260 at Jegs, and the part number is 500-68308.

I like the Headman's as well, but think that Stahl are the best - also very expensive.
