8mag,
do you need the ones with the alternator mount? or have you eliminated you brackets to the exhaust bolts?

You can get brand new ones from various supporters of this board, as well as a GMPP dealer.

70c10,
Better is a relative term. Do they provide better performance than headers, not usually. Do they perform better than headers for noise reduction, maintenance and longevity....usually. It depends on what your requirements are. I'm willing to bet that 8mag is tired of leaks or burned up starters. Those are generally the strongest opposition to headers.

Just my .02 cents.
