I am replacing the exhaust manifold (1965 6 cylinder, 200 cu in.,
3-speed).  I was originally just going to replace it with a new exhaust
manifold and then I got to thinking about replacing it with headers (I
realize I'd have to deal with the exhaust pipe too).  I've seen headers
for my engine (e.g., Mustangs Unlimited, part BA54) and am wondering
whether there is any performance advantage (for my particular engine
under just regular driving conditions) or if it is just for show/sound?
 Thanks.

It is the one barrel carb and intake log that is the bottle neck for
horsepower. The divider that comes with the headers and better flow won't
hurt, but don't expect much if anything without improving the intake
side.

Thanks.  I think I will stick with the vanilla exhaust manifold.
