Here are the Schumacher headers from a few different prospectives. I personally feel that based on the build quality and easy fitment (install in less than an hour), they're well worth the money.
If anyone would like different and/or larger pics, let me know!

They look to be tubular reproductions of the cast manifolds. The original pipes bolt dright up to the collecters? Did you notice any improvements in power or economy with them? I see a big block in there. Curious.
Snotty. Did you see any for a small block Mopar in there?
I have also a '63 880. Have the same problem with the headers. Hope someone has a solution. I was thinking a Heidt's front suspension swap...?? But then you have to make new engine mounts.. Anybody has done this before?... Greetings from Belgium

Sorry I haven't written back in so long - school has been handing it out to me and I've been spending long nights tuning diesel engines for our school's ChallengeX project.
The Schumacher headers are far from a tubular repro of the cast manifolds, and as such the original pipes had to be whacked back about 6" behind where they begin to turn up so that I had room to slip these in and the exhaust shop to hook up to the exhaust system. I had installed mine on my factory 383 (before it died) and I would have to say that the power difference between these and the manifolds was huge to say the least. Well worth the money if the car is stock - mildly warmed over. Something with larger pipes would be beneficial for an engine that produces over 425hp as the 2.5" collector just isn't enough.
