Which Headers? - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

ckhd · 03-13-2003, 02:14 PM

I tried doing a search so I wouldn't have to ask, but it pulls up just about every thread because a lot of people have 'headers' in their signature.

Which would you buy? I'm thinking of a set for the 'burb.

Nether I'd go with Dynomax, ceramic, the shorty kind. I think for a chevelle. These bolt right on and clear everything. And the best part they don't hang below the frame. Very important on a 2wd.

I have run both Hooker & headman. For a full lenght header that has good ground clearance,I reccomend the Hookers(collectors are parallel, & hang approx 2" below the rails in my 69). Good luck,crazyL

Dyno Max Cerama- Coat

I found these recently for a Camaro/Chevelle.

They look like they might fit, with more ground clearance. See the pic in Car Craft April '03 page 42.

At $479 I'd have to be sure though.

Hope the link works!

*Shane* · 03-13-2003, 05:54 PM

neither .... DynoMax 3/4" length for 67-78 chevelle/malibu

I'm running flow-techs ceramic coated. Worked great and look better for the last 2 years.

oldyeller · 03-13-2003, 11:21 PM

hey purs, are you running the full lenth or the shorty style from the camaro/chevelle??

Purs · 03-13-2003, 11:23 PM

full length.

I am using headmen elites for BBC. Nice thick flanges and finish looks good, I have not fired the truck yet. I almost went with Sanderson cast headers instead. May still end up there in the future depending on how these hold up, and how many times I have to change gaskets

Sanderson makes some pretty trick products.
