headers or manifolds stock 502
who makes the best, ie. the most horsepower for the money? There are so many options out there it is hard to chose from all and make a dissision. i am also planning on making some minor mods next winter also.

There are some great products out, Dana is one of them. Keep in mind you may have to relocate a few things and this will add costs. If you shoot me a pm or post some pics of your application I can help you get it spec'd out.

Before you all go making suggestions on exhaust manifolds, it is important to know what C.I. displacement the motor has? I know that he wrote "stock 502", but he went on to write "some mods" too. Does that include increasing the displacement?

You're doing the right thing by adding a well breathing exhaust system FIRST! Depending on the upgrades/mods you do, then the more a better breathing exhaust system is going to work for your engine to give you more speed at WOT or peak/upper RPM ranges.
Much of it depends on your engine's cubic inches and the application....I would think a good quality aftermarket manifold type exhaust system like a Dana Marine exhaust, Stainless Marine or something comparable to those would be suitable for your engine. Besides the big weight savings, they will dress up your engines nicely as well.
Somebody correct me if I am wrong, but I highly doubt the high dollar tubular header type of exhaust systems will out perform a manifold system unless you're entering at 540 or larger cubic inches.
Hope this has helped. Have fun.
