The gain in HP is going to be similar for all the different headers.  Fit for
the SS or CAT (Sanderson Style) requires a bit of shave of the cast motor
mount.  You will also need to use your stock oil filter remote setup.  Cannon
Style headers will fit but the design is different on the left (drivers) side
which allows use of the Ford Motorsport oil filter adapter.  Cannon style has
been not available for many decades, but I have a couple of sets.  I put one
set on ebay this week to see if re-production of a couple dozen sets would be
swallowed up by Tiger (Alger) owners.

Cost of reproduction should be around $6-700 possibly less for 10 or more
units.  Anyway,  the headers have stalled at $250 and have about 9 hours left
on auction.
 
Feedback?  Questions?  Anyone else using Cannon Headers or have a set
available?

I'd say that choosing between Sunbeam Specs headers and CAT would not be a
huge difference.. not sure if there are others out there off the shelf for
the Tiger, but going with the known dealers will net you roughly the same
result.. and they will fit.
