i my self dont care for headers . lots of extra heat and noise under the hood .
Heat for sure. Mine are ceramic coated & still put off some serious temps. I haven't had any issues on the noise level though. Are they louder than cast iron manifolds? Yep. But I don't notice any difference w/the hood shut. I also ground the head flanges true & made my own 3/8" thick collector flanges so zero leaks vs. the repeat leaker on my exhaust manifolds (pass side).

Building a small, high rpm engine with the perfect bore, stroke and rod ratio is very impressive.
It's like a highly skilled Morrocan sword fighter with a Damascus Steel Scimitar.....

Cubic inches is like Indiana Jones with a cheap pistol.
