i agree with GTS... why go to the expense of rebuilding and adding alum heads ttochoke it off with stock exhaust

I use the white cardboard looking el cheapo gaskets doubled up and never had a problem with them seal great and last long time

what and where are a guys options on coating a set of headers. These are raw, never been painter or even ran. Besides chroming (I'm checking into cost on that), what else can be done? I know from the header manufacturers you can get ceramic coatings but who does that ? Also will powder coating...

aluminized steel is a surface treatment done by the steel producer. it is dipped or sprayed on regular hot rolled steel and bonds to the surface- not bad but not part of the original steel formula more of a coating where stainless is the composition of the steel elements when it is smelted down...

make sure your engine is sitting square with the k member. The engine has quite a bit of room to move on the mounts and sometimes you get it cocked setting it down on the k memeber

My heddman headers fit well and are tucked in higher than most headders. I have never had them hit or drag going into drives or approaches they just barely hang below the sub frames

To be over the linkage headers they would almost have to be fenderwell headers. My hedman hedders fit tight to the floorpan and you can get the starter off and on without removing the header might look at them

Even the best hedders will warp some over time, due to extreem heat and bolts loosening themselves up. What I do is to double gasket them and try to tighten them as evenly as possible. Then fire it up and get warmed up and retighten a little more

what i did this last time I had them off was to wire brush the inside of the tubes the best I could with a wire type baby bottle brush - going as deep as I could . I then sprayed them with some VHT ceramic heat paint.Once they were totally dry I threw them on the BBQ on medium heat for an hour...

I use Hedman Hedders and the fit fine and are tucked up high enough that they don't hit going into driveways and potholes. They were cheap and plug access is good.

they should be threaded already but in any case just go to hardware store and get some brass plugs

well I have used both on different cars and to be honest the blackjacks lasted as long as the hookers and went in easier. the easier couldhave just been that the hookers were on a hemi roadrunner and the blackjacks were on a 360 -68 cuda. Both ended up rusting thru in about the same amount of time

my experience with the coppers wasnt very good. They worked fine at first but then they need tightened every week to keep from leaking and "spitting".. The best thing I have found and is working for me right now is to double up the Mr Gasket gaskets as you have done but make sure you have lock...

he TTI are probably the best from what everyone says ( I dont know cuz I run hedman) So I would say Heddmans are the 2nd best (still a tight fit tho) best help I can offer to get the car as high as possible then go higher. also it sure would help to have a second pair of hands help you too

yes they will dull and yellow with time and temperature. The only thing I know of to clean and shine them is to rub them down with chrome polish (something real mild ) but that produces another set of problems (polish burning off) I was going to try some comet or ajax on a damp rag but never got...

I must be the luckiest guy on the forum. I bought a set of Eagle Pro Comp headers to replace my rusted out 20 year old cyclone headers and after a weeks work and dimpleing to tubes to almost shut ...they went in!!! A month later I took them out with a torch and installed a set of Hedman headers...

mine are hedmans and fit really well and are tucked up higher than any I have seen (havent seen tti in person yet

I wish...LOL I am working on it

here it is ..these are the best headers I have ever owned on a small blockthey are tight like all but they tuck up under the car really nice

cant help ya on the TTI but I am running Hedmans and they are very high and tucked in zero clearance problems

answer...you cant drill it you have to grind it ...I have it fixed already so thanks anyway ...LOL

Today I broke an exhaust stud changing headers. Usually no problem but today it turned into a clusterf*ck. Drilled it out as usual to screw extract, heated as usual, inserted extractor and snap! that was a titanium extractor ! drilled it out with my left handed cobalt and snap! Now ...what...
