If it aint broke dont fix it!


   the other problem I've heard about, which I am most concerned about,
is

If it is properly tightened it shouldn't leak.
as far as pulling the motor shouldn't make a difference if you go with
the header or leave the stock manifold. Either way it is 3 bolts to
connect it to the pipe.

I have heard that the stock manifold "is" a "header", and that no
performance gains are to be had by using a header. It is the bigger
plumbing that is beneficial.

I'm no guru, thats just what I heard.
