headers ?
I know this has been disscussed lots, but the search function is not in service. Flow tech headers are they any good, I have heard they are thin. Also what headers fit a 72 chev 2wheel drive small block. Please let me know if they are shorties or regular headers. I want to order some in the next day or two and would like to know either what they were ordered for, ie chevelle and year or part numbers. Thanks

Flow teck are a low end header. I would stay with a good set of Hookers or Doug Thourley's myself but.... i will never switch from stock cast iron to headers as they are not worth the trouble...Leaks, burnt plug wires, burnt hands and arms..
I like to keep it STOCK! |

DYNOMAX are by far the best for your money on 67-72 trucks.

from what i've heard, hooker Super comps fit like a dream, and are a great header, but they cost between 350 and 530 bucks for the black and the ceramic ones!

Dynomax users....
I've heard the collectors hang pretty far below the frame. Anybody want to confirm that for me. I need headers that will not hang too low under a lowered truck.

I have the dynomax headers, and they do hang kinda low, but I've never scraped them on anything driving and I'm lowered in the front, but they did kinda get hung up on a dovetail trailer now that I think about it.

Yes the dynomaxes hang low. When I went with angleplug heads I had to get new headers I bought doug thorlys and they are great they dont hang as low as the dynomax and the craftsmanship is great.

Hooker super comps here...never touched the ground..even with my 500,000 mile od springs. The suspention will bottom out onto the bump stops (every single day) before the headers will touch the ground. I have no problems getting the rear plugs out of mine...I can't see what could be in the way.
Anyways, small block, th350...typical stuff. ![]() |

The #6 is a real pain to get to. Have to use a friken wrench...but it is better than my old headers which I had to use a wrench on 7 of them.
Here's the hookers from underneath. |
