Exhausting problem
« on: August 01, 2013 - 11:56:11 PM »

It looks like I am in a similar problem that Brad had with his challenger. I have firm feels fast ratio arms and I want to put at least a 1 7/8's" exhaust on my motor since she is a bit warmed over and would like to breathe.

So far I'm down to two roads:
Hedman route (1 3/4" but FF says it fits):
http://www.summitracing.com/parts/hed-78030/overview/make/plymouth/model/barracuda/year/1970 (bang on this one and get it ceramic coated)
http://www.summitracing.com/parts/hed-78038/overview/ (Just put her on and hope for the best)

Hooker route (2" header but have no idea on fitment):
http://www.jegs.com/i/Hooker+Headers/520/5209/10002/-1 Bang on these, try to make them work and the ceramic coat them)

Anyone run FF arms with Hooker headers?

What's TTI's opinion?
72 Cuda, owned 25 years. 496, with ported Stage VI heads, .625 in solid roller, 254/258 at .050, 3500 stall, 3.91 rear. 850 Holley DP, Reverse manual valve body.

1999 Trans Am, LS1, heads, cam, headers, stall, etc! Love to surprise the rice rockets with this one. They seem so confident, then it's "what the heck just happened?"

I would gladly use and pay for the TTI's as I haven't spared much expense on this build.  :woo:

But here is the problem. I called TTI and talked with Sam their Tech and he stated they do not do any custom builds for folks. I told him what I was building and had the FF fast ratio arms and he said he would get back to me. That was last weds.

Anyone use the hooker headers with FirmFeel Fast Ratio arms?

I don't really want to ditch the arms now as going lock to lock for centuries is not my cup of tea.

Hooker headers are out, no go.

Can someone tell me what model of E-body this is? It looks like these 2" headers will work but TTi states the FF arms will not. Weird.
