Header Recommendations

I just noticed why I couldn't get rid of an annoying header leak on my 76 2wd F250 Super Cab with a 460 C6 Auto, there is a crack where the last header tube goes into the flange. When the truck is running you can see flame inside the tube.

So I guess that I finally need to replace my 30+ year old Hedmann Headers. What I would like to know is who makes decent quality headers now and I am talking about fit, value and durability. I know that I will need to redo my existing exhaust, so for now I just want to focus on the headers.

Opinions?

Thanks,

Eric

Definately, stay with what works. 30 years and no problems until now, I'd give Heddman another shot. You might want to consider ceramic coated to dissipate heat though more money.

Thanks, PK
