Small block inexpensive headers.....
« on: September 17, 2007 - 11:42:47 AM »
Looking at FLOTECH, Hedman, Jegs.......anyone better than the others? Where is the best place to buy them?

I'm game for a better set if someone has them for sale!

Find a set that doesn`t go under the center steering link otherwise you will be replacing them weekly as the pipes get flattened

I am running ceramic coated Dynomax headers, they were around $300 I think.  They fit quite well, I didn't have to alter them at all to clear anything, I have zero leaks, and they don't hang too low either.  The ceramic coating was worth every penny, it really does cut down the underhood temps.  I can actually touch my headers after the car has been shut down for 5 minutes.

Unfortunatly, this is the norm with the cheaper, $100 or so headers out there. Headman, summit, jegs, dynomax, blackjack, any house branded set off pipes are all off the same jig. I think the least expensive headers that don't go under the link are Hooker Comps.
