    Which Headers?

    Hi,

    I'm removing the heat exchanges from my 2.7 (in my 68) and looking for a set of headers to take their place. Any recommendations? I've seen the TRE, Bursch, and Kerry Hunter Enterprise. Any recommendations?

    The car will be mostly street with an occasional long tour, and an occasional weekend track day.

    Thanks in advance!

    I don't know if anyone took over the production of George Narbel's European headers after his death - if not I'd look for a good used pair.

    I'm pretty sure GT Racing (Godfreson) bought European Headers lock stock and barrel.

    the best are SSI's Dansk just bought them so you might try and locate a used pair until they sort out production.
    I don't think headers will be any better performance wise for a street car.

    They're a far cry from the best performing.. But they have heat!
