How Good Are These Headers?

I finally bothered to look up my set of headers online and here is what I found:

http://www.jegs.com/i/Edelbrock/350/68713/10002/-1



Now, come this summer I am going to have the exhaust system completely customized. I currently am not liking these headers very much because of the way the frontmost tube routes up and over the other 3 on the passengers side header, making it impossible to do a clean spark plug wire route.

Are these headers really that good that they are worth $450? Of course common would dictate that a $450 set of headers should outperform a $150 - $200 set of headers. So what makes these that I have so special and should I keep them or are there better options out there?

Re: How Good Are These Headers?

i wouldnt have paid that much for them, but the higher price is probably because they come with a y pipe and retain a lot of features of the OEM manifolds, like AIR and the heat riser.
with headers, you get what you pay for.
dyno dons are super expensive, but supposedly the best you can get.
one day i will be able to afford a pair.

Good part is I didn't pay for them. They came with the car.

How much do a set of Don's headers go for on average I PM'd him but he never answered me back.
