Jerry I do not want to start a debate about Headers VS Manifolds , and you are in tilted to your opinion and I respect that.But I do not believe Headers on the street are an " exercise in stupidity " or it that it takes " mouth breathers at the car show who don't know any better " to like the looks of a nice set of headers. Your Truck will have a nicer tone with headers , and you can run bigger exhaust pipe(s) and actually benefit from them. You and I could go on and on with Pros and Cons about both. In the end its all about individual preference on the matter. I love the look and sound of the Headers on my Truck , and I would never call the people who like the look or sound of a nice set of Headers " mouth breathers ".
