What do you gentlemen think about the options out there for exhaust manifolds?

Any opinion on European Racing Headers?

Any other suggestion?

I will listen to your advice and opinions to make my mind.

MSDS

What size engine? I have a few sets of used factory heat exchangers; they flow very well

Ben's headers and sport muffler.Click to view attachment

My header now come with an f1 merge collector which is a huge improvement over anything else out there. They are built to order so not an instock item. Click to view attachment

MSDS the best

You have tried mine and done testing?

engine size?

I have no experience with the others except for seeing them on other cars. I have Ben's full exhaust on my car and love it.

I think he has a 2.7 motor. If you want heat, I would run Ben's 1 5/8" heat exchangers. I ran MSDS 1 5/8's headers when I had a 2.7 with webers back in 1987. The car ran great. MSDS does not sell heat exchangers for a six. Also I don't think MSDS is stainless steel. The one's i purchased from him back in 1986 were nickel plates. He does ceramic coating now as an option.

Thank you for your responses gentlemen.

Engine size is a 2.7.

There is quite a difference in prices when new between options.

I have MSDS for my 6 build. I got the ceramic coating option and man they are bright. You don't want to look directly at them on a sunny day.



You can't go wrong with Bens or MSDS, both good guys who make quality products.

For a 2.7 you want 1.5 or 1.5 to 1.625 stepped. 1.625 is to large unless it's an RS spec.

I am seeing about 1k for mild steel and 1400 for stainless.. with the huge stainless shortage right now I am considering a run of mild steel headers

@HIPPIEKILLER If you are looking at our brand, once you decide on the specific size that you need (we offer 3 different o/d's...no upcharge), check out our site for racer net pricing. Add the 1,650°f coating + drive 'em hard !
Thanks @Larmo for the pic

Those are the best suppliers in the space, IMO. Both have the bases covered for various engine sizes/outputs, while each offers a different approach to materials & the option of heat.

We're lucky to have choices like these.

Marty at MSDS.

Final answer.

Nice time in Marty’s shop. Unbelievable what he has in there, in terms of builds, knowledge and that white wide 914…

So how many hippies have you killed?

It's the music...kind of reminds me of watching a good skate or surf sesh !¡
