FWIW, the header will probably not provide any noticible performance gain
on a stock motor. Its visceral qualities such as enhanced exhaust tone
and under-hood appearance may be worth its weight in gold to some
owners. The poor-old stock federalized '74 motor was a real barn-stormer
at 104hp, which means it was not moving a lot of air through the combustion
chambers; onless you increase its ability to breath air in, giving it
the ability to exhaust air will not make a significant difference.
The Monza exhast is quite loud, and will set off car alarms as you drive down
the street pulling 2500rpm, as there is quite a resonance around that range.
Some folk do not like it; personally, I do, because at the upper rev
range it dose sound like half of a Ferrari :)
It is a mild-steel system, and will last as long similiar mild-steel.
Short drives will rot it pretty fast; long drives will keep it dry. YMMV.
