Hey John,
I see you are making the same decisions I am struggling with. I was kind of hoping in the back of my mind that I could use my factory heat exchangers but it seems like that won't really work with out a pretty significant loss of power I guess.
If I go with headers on my car I will go with the ones with the heat exchangers as I do want a heater in my car that works like the stock one. I definitely like the jet hot coating finish.
I would like to be able to use a stock muffler, I have one still in the box, but don't know if that will be possible for the same reason as the heat exchangers. Oh well, time will tell.
It was nice to hear Jeff's engine run (on the video).
See ya,
Michael
Since you already have a set, why don't you try the stock exchangers. If the power loss is significant, ditch them. If you don't feel much difference, you've saved yourself a ton of money and effort. Plus, I'm curious what will work on my engine.
