Need advice

[heavy chevy by the levy]

I have a '77 Chevy C10 2WD w/ 4barrel edelbrock, intake manifold is also edelbrock currently the engine is on an engine stand,and I am trying to figure out if I want to go with OEM exhaust manifolds or aftermarket headers. Are they worth my time and/or money to replace?
Thanks for any info

Headers are cheaper than manifolds usually.

if you have the manifolds I woud run them unless you are building a really serious engine. to get headers that do not leak and don't rot out in 2 years you need to spend money. fitment is a whole other issue.
