Default Help! 86 Exhaust Manifold

Any ideas on the best/cheapest header to replace my cracked bellows type header. I replaced the stock non-bellows type with one bought off e-bay a year or so ago, but it has developed a crack underneath the shielding at the "Y" joint of the 1-4 portion.This is a "retired" track car, the car will be used for touring only. It seems the B&B may be least expensive. Does anyone have any experience with these?
TIA
John

www.speedforceracing.com sell a couple of different types from mild to wild.

www.broadfootracing.com also sell a set

I have some stock ceramic coated ones (from SFR) that I may be selling to buy their stage 2 set...

I did the same research 2 years ago, I found that SFR's are higher quality. If you look inside the Broadfoot headers they are unfinished, with the edges of the pipes protruding into the exhaust flow. I went with the SFR headers even though they are more expensive.

Good luck with the search,
John

Not to be a jerk, but which one do you want? Best or cheapest? The terms are more mutually exclusive than not.
