body header q's

[6 packin]

I am getting ready to stuff the big boy 440 In my 73 Duster. The car has manual steering and manual front disc brakes. I picked up a set Oh Hooker Super Comps fenderwell headers there the smaller ones think 1 7/8 with 3.5 inch collectors. I would really not like to cut the fenderwells in my car because they are rust free and dont even need painted. Hookers I know these are real good performers too. My other option is the Shumachers Tri Y headers. I heard tire clearance is crap as for the Hooks. Also seems to be alright for a strip car but this is mainly going to be the local terror on the street. So anyone be hear done that.............there opinions will be greatly helpful.

oh yea 70% Tri Y

15% Hooker

15% Dont know!

I did the same swap in my 72 dart. 440 with s/r heads. I tried the hedman and the hooker headers. The hedmans have horrible tire interference on the street. The Hookers aren't too bad on the street. I have used mine for about two years now and no problems. I was the same way with my car. It was in excellent condition, no rust. But without going to get a custom set of headers, no one had under chassis headers to fit the car the had primaries big enough. Good luck

Does anyone know if Headers by ED has started taking orders for headers again?
