So I'm working on upgrading my slant 6, I bought an offy intake and an edelbrock 4 barrel carb before I slap it on, I figured I may need better exhaust headers, does snyone know of good ones for a reasonable price?
Exhaust headers for slant 6

Reasonable price? No. Good? Yes. Clifford, Hooker and Aussie Speed all make them. Or you can hawk Ebay for some used stuff. Mopar Performance offered one at one time. Clifford offered an old 6 into 1 design years ago. My advice is to leave it stock or close to stock using a larger exhaust pipe on the stock manifold, because you are pretty limited in terms of power production, even with a 4 barrel and headers and other mods. It is after all, still a slant six and always will be. Unless you go some type forced induction or nitrous, you'll be hard pressed to see 250 HP. People build slants for the cool factor. Although there are cheap methods of turbocharging, that opens up a whole new can of worms for you to learn if you are not familiar with forced induction.

Yeah no worries, I have worked on some cars before but this is my first build so it's a whole learning factor. I was told if I get a larger pipe, I could even just straight pipe it, would that work?
Sure but it will sound like 2 pounds of crap in a one pound bag. A good 2 1/4 pipe with a nice turbo muffler will sound good.
