Who makes those? They really look nice!!!

Mine are black, but That is the look I am after!!!

70c10 · 08-29-2003, 07:26 PM

Awesome!

my new 72 · 08-29-2003, 07:27 PM

Those kick ass. Do they fit angled plug heads, who makes them, and how much?

*Randy70C-10* · 08-29-2003, 07:28 PM

They are Hooker competition headers. On the second pic, you can see the ground clearance with a 3 inch/4 inch drop.

Nice Randy!

lunatic · 08-29-2003, 07:51 PM

Looking Good....

*Randy70C-10* · 08-29-2003, 08:08 PM

Thanks guys!
Josh- Summit Racing sells them for $329.

SCOTI · 08-29-2003, 08:18 PM

Randy, would/could you measure the distance from the bottom of the frame rail to the bottom of the collector flange? They sure look nice.

chevy_fatman · 08-29-2003, 08:18 PM

They sure are shiney! now how am I supossed to hear that motor running with open headers all the way over here with no radiator hose and all those loose belts?

J/K looking good man.

Project1970 · 08-29-2003, 09:03 PM

I'm having a hard time telling - how much below the front crossmember do they hang?

Right now, it seems that the front crossmember - or, more accurately, the lower A-arms where the bolt to the crossmember - is my scrub point. Those look like they don't come down much lower, if at all, than that point..

neonlarry · 08-29-2003, 09:17 PM

Those headers look nice.

Could you measure how far apart the collectors are for me? I have a set of those (someone painted them black though, but they used to look like yours) and I am just wondering how much I will have to change on the exhaust to get them to fit.

bowtie · 08-29-2003, 09:28 PM

Those are some nice looking headers, congrats

flyin99 · 08-29-2003, 10:31 PM

smooooooooooooooove!!!!!!!!!!!!!

*Randy70C-10* · 08-30-2003, 12:29 AM

Thanks y'all, I'll do some measuring tommorrow and post them.

**Yukon Jack** · 08-30-2003, 10:07 AM

I know some hate them, but headers have such a great appearance and I at least have always had good luck with them. They look great!

DUTCHMAN · 08-30-2003, 10:19 AM

Hey Randy nice headers I like them ceramic coated, have some shorty's from Sanderson for my lowered truck.

Can you give us the part number from the feaders?

Thankx

**FRENCHBLUE72** · 08-30-2003, 10:20 AM

LOOK'S GOOD HOW IS THE FIT FOR GETTTING THE PLUG'S IN? I tHINK i NEED A SET..

*Randy70C-10* · 08-30-2003, 12:47 PM

This is the first pair of headers I've owned that had absolutely no problem whatsoever getting to the plugs with a socket and extension, all 8!!! I can remove all 8 plugs in 3 minutes flat!

*Randy70C-10* · 08-30-2003, 08:10 PM

Sorry it took me so long, here are some measurements: The lowest part of the header (flange) is 7.5 inches from the ground, and 3.5 inches lower that the bottom of the frame. The A arms are actually 1/2 inch lower, and the front crossmember is about even with the header flange.
