/6 headers
Hey Mike,
Not here to sway you one way our the other,just trying to help.I have been playing with the slant motor for many years before I came over here to play with my V8 car.So I know of what I am talking.First there is no proof (other than word of mouth)that this(I wouldnt even call it a header)exh manifold will even out perform a stock exhaust manifold.Second,dual exhaust is overkill for most slants.Since you arent looking to put much hp to the car,a nice 2.25" single exhaust through a nice free flowing muffler is all you are going to need.I have run 1bbl,2bbl,and 4bbl carbs on slants.Every single one of them ran very well.Sounds like you are going with a 2 bbl (super six) set up.If I were you I would take a stock exhaust manifold and gasket match it,and save the $250.00 for other things.This,with the upgraded exhaust will breath as much as your stock motor/head will put at it.Also I would stay away from the aluminum 2 bbl intake,they are porous,and have been known to leak.
Let me suggest a set-up for you.A set-up that I once had in my car.
Factory Chrysler (super-six) 2bbl intake.
Stock (gasket matched)intake manifold.
Carter bbd 2bbl carb
2.25" exhaust
Free flowing muffler. (your choice).
Pertronix.(elec ignition).
This is a proven set-up,and will have your slant running very nicely,with better gas mileage.To add to the fun add a Dutra Dual,or Clifford Header.
Not trying to take money out of anyone's pocket,just calling it as I see it.
Update:Mike read the .org thread Ramraider suggested.Some very interesting info to say the least.
