74 Dart. Headers vs manifold.

H22A4 said

If your priority is fuel economy, then you probably shouldn’t be starting with a 40+ year old iron that has a V8. Best to buy a modern 4 cylinder econo bucket that will give you at least double to maybe three times the fuel economy you’ll ever get out of the Dart.

Driving an old car is great but don’t fool yourself into thinking the old car can also be really fuel efficient.

Well originally I had a 2000 Malibu got into an accident and now that car is gone. I already had the dart and wasn’t on planning on driving further than my city for the most part but I’m starting school soon and for a solid year I’ll be doing the 9-5, 5 days a week. I’m contemplating just searching for a $2,000 car that can get me to and from school and keep the dart for when I have freer time. If that’s the case, should I just go with the headers? Can get a set of headers for 250
