I was thinking the same thing. If I ask this question to any car person, they all say "heck yeah, run headers". However, my experience with headers has been mixed. On a relatively stock motor, on an often-driven vehicle, I've seen little gains and more headaches from heat, leaks and cracks.
On the flip side, nicely modified motors seem to like headers, esp as you said at higher RPMs and they sound better! What I have determined is that "good" headers are the way to go or not at all. Never buy cheap ones unless you want problems left and right.
But I've read and heard many truck folks saying to keep the ram horns. I'm having the engine built and tuned for lower RPM, higher torque use. And I already have a good set of horns on the 350 that I am yanking out. I have always wondered about some "real life" opinions. I've read many of the other threads here on this subject, and still couldn't come to a conclusion. And this thread opened the door again.
