Question two piece headers vs singles

I have a '96 I6 150 that I want to put headers on and have heard that 2 piece headers are better than a single header. Can anybody tell me why. Also what headers do you guys prefer and why. Or Who makes the best 2 piece and/or single headers.

I looked for a set of headers for my '95 300 but i could only find them for years that weren't efi they went up to mid '80's. I didnt know if these would fit so i didnt get them. I found them at jegs.com.

Why EFI exhaust over old manifold. The EFI is closer to headers and let the gases flow better into a single 2.5 inch pipe. They are better than the single plane but not better than headers. But you will not have the problems with EFIs that you will have with headers (gaskets, bolts and burned out pipes).
