Manifold/header comparisons

[Doug Jacobsma <big_jake57@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Well, if there isn't an article out there, or it  is not informative enough, 
perhaps you guys searching and contacting the magazines will prompt one.  It 
would certainly be of great interest to all Mopar enthusiats.
I remember years ago, installing headers on 2 different 383 RoadRunners and 
seeing nice gains in 1/4 mile times.  Then another time I put a set of 
Hookers on my GTX with a then stock 440 which replaced the H-pipe as well.  
The gain was much smaller.  Cant remember the numbers anymore but I'm 
thinking the drop in ET was less than half it was with the stock 383s, which 
had no H pipe in original config.  Suppose the H pipe made that much 
difference ?  These were all '69s btw, which is what sits in my '63 now, 
with stock manifolds and exhaust that needs replacing, so I'm very 
interested in the comparisons also.
