I was going to suggest block hugger headers as well (don't forget the Stage8 fasteners, unless you like continually tightening the headers due to exhaust leaks!) Block huggers will give a bit better perfromance than the cast iron stock manifolds, plus take a ton of weight off the front end (always a good thing!), but won't give the performance of a set of tuned headers. When I say performance, I'm not talking about racing. An engine is a heat pump. Headers make every aspect of engine performance more efficient, power and torque, but also fuel economy. A crossover or "X" pipe, especially the "X" pipe, produce a great increase in torque. I wouldn't have a vehicle without one.
