header ?'s Cost vs quality

My goal is to find the best header for the best price. I would like to know who makes the best header for my low-buck buildup I'm doing on my 91 RS. I would like them to come with a y-pipe with a 3" outlet. The A.I.R. fittings are optional and no ceramic finishes...cant afford that. Thanx


Stock 305 TBI

I'd go with Hooker for the price. $350 or so.

get the flowtechs, 100 for the headers and 100 for the ypipe. the ypipe is 2.5" but you can widen it to fit a 3" catback. thats what i did.

3" Mandrel bend? Or 3" Outlets?

If youre talking about the width all the way through - I'd be careful not to lose TOO MUCH back pressure (yes it can hurt performance). That is, unless you're doing something really awesome that'll make the 3.1 a monster. If it's the 5.0 my whole post is null and void! Bye!
