Re: Best Fitting Headers For a 66

You're right, I did find them in ceramic. I'm loosing track of where I've been. I think the price is what made me forget about them.

I think I'm just going to have to pay up for a good quality header!

Wise statement.

Price is important, but quality is more important. I have found that when it comes to headers that if you can find one made for your application that the big boys build a better product. I know from first hand experience that Doug Thorley, Hooker and Sanderson build a very good product. Heavy flanges, tubes designed so you can actualy get the spark plugs out without being Hoodini, and clearances so you don't have to take the ball peen hammer to your brand new headers.

And go with the ceramic coating -or- better yet buy them raw, make sure they fit, and then send them out for coating. It keeps underhood temperatures down and makes the header last much longer, especially in areas where salt / mag chloride is used on the roads during the winter.
