I believe the 496 HO in 2001 still had forged internals so Whipple it.

Hardin is making a set of headers for the 496 that are much cheaper than the CMI's, but I don't know the exact price.

The Hardin headers are $4200.00 a set and they don't include relocation brackets for the ECU and oil filter from what I can tell.
