-6 headers, best bang for the buck? Options

[campbellcj]

This topic came up on the Pelican BBS recently, but didn't seem to conclude with any real answers or tech info.

I need to come up with some 1 5/8" 914-6 headers in the near future. Not really interested in paying $1400 for GHL or $3000 for S-Car-Go. Not really interested in B&B at any price, based on all the bad feedback I've heard.

What are my best other options? I figure I could get a Triad or Bursch mild-steel setup Jet-Hot coated.

Anybody have firsthand experience with the Triad headers? I figure they've got to be a little better than the Bursch (?)

I pick them up from swap meets for around 250$ Normally new and never used. What is this crazy crap about factory HE's on his 3.0 ??

The $400 Bursch price was from Pelican's site (LOL). I bet GPR or one of the other guys would significantly beat that.

Yeah, POC dings you points for headers, and for open exhaust. I think that car (the yellow area 51 / burn victim car) is already carrying max ballast weight, so to stay in class with the new rules, something has got to come off the car. Cheaper and quicker than building a new motor. It is a very competitive class, and many guys were obviously maxed-out on mod points per the old 2001/2002 rules. Now they're scrambling.
