Thank you

They are some "shortly" headers out there. They may/may not dump in same spot as manifolds.

Megaparts has them... :2thumbs:

THANK YOU for that link; when the time comes to deal with my exhaust I may go with HP manifolds instead of headers...

No Problem, it seems their website is down. I see their stuff is on ebay still going. Anyone else having this issue? :shruggy:

With OEM hi po exhaust manifolds you'll find your car runs a lot cooler in the engine bay
and especially in the cabin.

My main concern is to keep a 'DD capable car that will require less tinkering and repairing.  Besides, I don't want to fork over $800 and more for a TTi based system, only to find that there are fitment and spark plug boot/wire/starter burning issues galore.  I've come to the conclusion that if someone wants headers that's the possible game they have to play and I'm not sure I want to...

I think that's a wise decision Myk. I love the sound of headers and my 69' had them on it when I bought the car.
The OO had the original hi po manifolds and planned to reinstall them at some point. Part of the sales dealio
was to have that done. He had them media blasted, recoated and installed a shiny new TTI OEM exhaust system
to include the SS version of the chrome tips.

Silly as it sounds I've been longing to hear the sound of headers as much any performance gains on my car.  But, practicality may win in the end...

What's a good price for a set of hi po manifolds?  I got a guy wanting to sell me a set. :popcrn:  Not for sure I want to go that route, but I do like having options.

twodko

No idea, but someone on here does. MoparSal what do you know?

If the price is right I'd buy them just to have them in my stash.

Myk,

If it weren't for the heat concern I'd be hella tempted to run headers myself.

What's the casting numbers on them?

If you have a 440 or 383 I think you want casting #2843992 & #2806900.

That Megaparts site that was listed had their 440 manifolds for less than $200 each, unless I was mistaken.  That's a big price difference from the TTi and Doug pieces I'm considering, and with guaranteed fitment as well...

Thank you,, I have the uni steer rack, and I have done some homework on headers and tti are the one that fit?? But as I have drop stubs and lowered a little more, I don't want headers hanging down under the car dragging along the ground, so my thought was either hi-po manifolds or shortie headers that dump in roughly the same spot,,,,

I seen them go for 350 to 450 for a pair at the last swap.
