So my exhaust headers have a few cracks. Time to replace them. Am I fine buying new ones with a gasket for $150 or is it better to spend $200+ for them. Looking at these:

To me... They would seem to function all the same... They all have the same design, with the exception of the loopy one's.

Personally... Anything would be better than cast iron. I myself am going with a stainless steal. I think it was around $75 off ebay. That coupled with a cat/muffler from performance-curve.com... New system for under $200.

I've ordered from them before. They're positive feedback is nearly 100%. Nothing I've purchased has failed me yet. Comes with hardware and gasket. Free shipping as well... You can't beat that savings in todays economy.
