I need help I'm trying to buy  a good set of Small Block 340 Headers. But a set that I don't have to break the bank to buy. I would like to get a set of Ceramic. I would like to know if anybody has used Spintech mufflers I want to put them on my T/A Challenger. Thanks for your Help. Hope everyone has fun in Carlisle Enjoy!

My history with headers has been painful enough through the years such that this is probably one area I wouldn't skimp in an effort to save money.  Leaky, ill fitting headers can drive you to throw wrenchs all over the place (ask me how I know...).  That said, Dougs Headers & TTI are the two brands that get the most praise around here.  I've used several sets of Hooker big block headers on my Roadrunner with mixed results, and have had no luck at all with Hedman (wouldn't clear starter).  From what I've read here both Doug's & TTI route above all of the steering linkage and have the best fit & finish.  If I decide to go the header route on my 73 small block Barracuda I'll use one of these two brands.  Sorry, no experience whatsoever with the mufllers you mention.  Good luck.

I've had my Doug's ceramic coated headers for 4-5 yrs now. They look brand new besides a little dulling. I could polish them but I'm to lazy. LOL

Added a current pic of the headers, you can see them a little.  They look like this on the bottom side as well.

TTi won't fit fast ratio steering if you ever go that route. Hooker 5115's stay above the linkage and are available for roughly the same price as the other premium headers mentioned.
