New Thornton B/B headers.

Everything Troy has produced has been the best quality available in the aftermarket based on my experience. I already have a set of his W/Z manifolds on my wagon as my originals were cracked to the point of being not worth the effort. If I wanted headers but wanted to retain a less obvious look, I would not hesitate to purchase, jet hot coat, and enjoy these.

See my comments in this thread. They seem worse than W/Z manifolds and about on par with the crappy tubular manifolds on the roller cam 307s.

Successful scavenging and header design is all about using the exhaust gas momentum to leave a low pressure region behind the pulse that will actually help pull intake charge into the cylinder during overlap period. On a mild cam application (small overlap), the difference between headers and manifolds is minimal compared to the effect with more radical cams (large duration / tight LSA). These new "headers" don't really do anything for scavenging due to the log design.
They likely have larger internal diameter, so they might do a slightly better job clearing out the cylinders, but I doubt it's more than 5-10 hp on a mild combo... the driver's side looks better than the passenger side, where the #8 exhaust does a 180* turn. Will be interesting to see results.
Doesn't matter what we think... they appear to be flying off the shelves, so there's clearly a market for the product.
