headers: best bang for your buck?

just wondering what some people recommend, not trying to blow a hole through my wallet and bank account. just want something nice, that looks decent. instead of these stock manifolds.

Just a normal 350 with a carb out of a 70 monte, in an 89' rs. stock k-member. etcetc. open to ANYTHING.

I do not have any other parts to the exhaust yet, so no compatibility complications.

Re: headers: best bang for your buck?

My top 2 choices are Dyno Don's and Hooker. Obviously you know that you get what you pay for and although these may not be "cheap" compared to others, they will give you the best bang for performance. If you would like more info on either I would be happy to provide it or there is plenty of info on here on both Dyno Don's and Hooker headers.. Also, both offer a matching y pipe for purchase.

Hedmans are good budget friendly.
