I view cheap as costing me the least amount IN THE LONG RUN. To that end, I'd delay the gratification if I had to as opposed to spending more later on because I went for a "get by" solution that requires me to pay less today

I have the Headman ceramic coated headers on my 85, they needed a mod on No 4 for the "right hand drive'' clearance.
Everything else was fine, have been on the car for quite a few years and am very happy with them they still look great.
Quiet and cool.

Already had a mini starter on it, so cannot comment about the large starter clearance.

For headers I would buy the ones many in here have used. I forgot the name, but before you buy search in here. Remember, cheap is never good.
