For lurkers, Thorley also makes smog legal headers, though they are pricey.  Nice boost at 3-4K rpm, which is right where you are if you downshift to pass at highway speeds.  Added 10-15HP to my truck - basically about as much as you'd lose running AC for a comparison - heh - but *just* enough to get up hills in 5th at 60-65mph.  Don't expect a header to do amazing things in such a small engine.  :)

Way lower heat.  Tons easier to get at all the stuff on that side of the engine as well.  Exhaust sounds properly aggressive - like half of a V8 instead of a lawnmower.  But... yeah, expensive...  Def find new old stock or used if you can.  Thorley makes great sutff but it's not cheap.
