Doug's headers fittment

Leadfoot said
I just put them on my Cuda. There was a couple of times that I had to stop and rethink what I was doing but they fit with no dinging or adjusting. I also got them with no scratches to either the headers or the car. As far as the height goes I would say it's a little better but nothing exceptional. I took off my cheap Flowtechs and put the Dougs on in their place. The flange height was identical. While it's true that Dougs go above the steering linkage they drop down to the same height as the cheaper headers.

That must have been some set of Flowtechs, because I've never seen a set of headers that captured the steering link that wasn't a crap load lower. Even if that was true and the flanges were at the same height, with that style you have a foot and a half of exhaust pipe that is as low as the flange, which is worse than just having the flange at that height.

Flowtechs. Look at the length of pipe before the collector flange. That's a really long stretch, all with very little ground clearance

Doug's. It's hard to tell with the angle of the headers in the picture, but the driver's side pipes angle up from the collector flange. The flange is the lowest point by a decent amount.

That's about it but a 340. As far as the starter goes I was reading that the starter and the headers needed to be put in at the same time. This isn't true, there's plenty of room to put the starter in afterwards.

I found that to be true with the mini-starter at least. If you angle it right it drops out.

What exact mod do you need to do to the Z bar, first i heard of this??

Thanks Jeff

From TTI's website. The Doug's instructions call for the same thing.

All my buddies have TTI, just curious about these, I can get them coated for around $150 locally, so maybe by them bare.

I suppose if you thought the coating would be better. Same price though really, that's about what TTI charges for the coating.

I don't know why you'd mess with it, you can get the Doug's from autozone and use an online discount for 20% off right now. code CARCARE20
