Hi Jeffery
I have sort or RV8 headers. Mine exit a bit further back.
It will increase performance but not that much.
RV8 headers keep the heat away for the starter and so it will last more
time.
Most of all is heat. RV8 headers will keep heat away from the engine and
will give the hot air some were to go.
If you have the time I would go for the RV8.

Subject: Headers
Does anyone have experience with hugger headers vs. RV8 headers. I am ready
to order my headers and did not know if the extra effort to cut and install
the RV8 are worth the cost and cutting time. I had the stock manifolds
turned
backward and exit through the fender wheels. I am cleaning up my engine bay
and considering both options. Any suggestions???????? I have a 63 B with
the
215 installed. Not sure if the huggers will clear the steering rack. Any
one
with an early B with either installled?
