Anyone using this brand of big block headers?
« on: December 13, 2013 - 09:46:04 AM »
Patriot is the brand name?

Looks to be 1 7/8" tube diameter.

Similar looking bends to Hookers, possibly made by them?

Anyone using them?

How is the fit?

The Patriot name is new to me.

 The price seems scary low too.   :2cents:  But you definitely want ceramic coating to reduce the heat. I got a hot foot when I drove my car after I first bought it, and it had just plane tubes for headers.   :22yikes:

Major problem with 383/440 headers is fitment.

Problem areas include:

Torsion bars
Power Steering box

After messing with all things mechanical for 35 years now and getting it in the rear many times, I have taken this as my montra. YOU GET WHAT YOU PAY FOR! I would pass just based on the price alone.

That price is for the raw ones not ceramic ones.
