Summit has headers on sale for $68 right now....i believe they are the same thing as Dynomax headers, which i have heard good things about on the board.

After ordering some FlowTech headers and getting them from Summit I was NOT impressed when I pulled them out of the box. I sent them back, and I decided to save my $$$ and got some ceramic coated Hooker Competition headers instead. They look WAY better, and I believe will last a whole lot longer.

Cobalt,
I bought some ceramic coated Hooker Competition headers for my 71 1/2 ton about 6 years ago from Summit. Looked good for about 2 years then the coating started flaking off and the header tube began rusting and pitting. In my opinion, they are not worth the $$. I will probably do what my brother did. He bought a pair of Hedman headers for his Chevelle and hot JET HOT coat them. His are now showing signs of age but still not as bad as mine and he's had his 2 years longer. I'll probably invest in cheaper headers and have them coated in the future. James |

I think I've heard negative things about every set of headers available on this board. I picked the Hookers because I heard the *least* amount of negative things.
I also thought about buying non-coated headers and then having them Jet Hot coated, but I heard it was more expensive than just buying them already coated. Was I wrong in that?

HA! That's what I thought...but of course I guess it depends on how long you want them to last.
I don't think I have any worries. I'll be happy with mine.

Yep, more expensive if you have them coated. I bought the Hooker comps as well (after seeing a post from Cobalt). They look awsome and fit better than any header I've ever installed, and all 8 spark plugs are completely accessible. (note that I have angle-plug heads)

...oh good you ended up getting them. How did you seal them to the heads if you don't mind me asking? I haven't installed them yet. Do anything interesting with the collectors?

These are the Summit brand coated which cost 189.00. They are actually Dynomax brand. These are on my neighbors truck, and as you can see, the collectors hang low as hell. My Hooker collectors were much higher than this. These are too low for a deeply lowered truck.

There used to be a set of Chevelle shorty headers available through Summit. Does anyone have that part number?

krue, I have a driver's side one I think. Maybe you could cut a hole in the hood and put it on upside down? Redneck fix, I know.

I have had real good luck with manifold gaskets. I do cut the flanges on each side of the center tubes. Neat thing about the manifold gaskets is you can start all the bolts then just drop the gaskets into place.

I do like mudder on my hooker super comps...except the cutting thing. Never done that, but I've never had a reason to either. They don't hang much at all, they are higher than the front cross member. They pretty much kick ass.
Krue, I think I may have the manifold you need. I'll have to check though. (Not sure which side I have...but i DO have one. |

I have read somewhere that dynomax headers are actually jet-hot coated I had a set on my truck for about 8 months with no problems. I now have Doug thorley headers they are great I bought the nickle chrome plated from summit because the ceramics were backorderd for a month They were $330.

She's more like the Beast than the beauty...but since you asked.
Right now she's sporting rally's and 33's but I need more pics (I lost a lot when my computer died.)
