Very open question. But you're pretty well off with TTI's regardless of the application.

Hedman 78030.

Fits RB into B/E body chassis no fuss no muss and around $159.00

Drivers side in from top and passenger up from bottom.

As for coating, I like to sandblast and then coat with BBQ Black. Easy touch up and good heat resistance.

HOW do you think they would fit on a Caravan ? ..

How are the flanges and tubes? Where is the best-shot to get them?

Summit or Mancini Racing.

I bought this particular pair from Summit.

What about the flanges and tubes? Standard header fare.

I've had Walker Dynomax headers that looked very similar with similar flanges and never had a warpage problem after thousands of miles. E-body with 440.

383man was running these in his car IIRC before the recent transplant of the bigger mill and had nothing but good things to say.

Some of the Hedman's do come with a thicker flange, and look pretty good. I put a set on my El Camino, and am very pleased with them. I have found the key to not blowing out the gaskets, is to not use any. I have been installing them with just Hi Temp Silicone, with 100 % success !

Damn gy ... that is a pretty Berri .. ... how did you get it all nice and shiny after that HORRIBLE fire you had last weak ?

HERE is a link ... the Summit headers have a thicker flange. And what is the diff between the two Hedman #'s ?

At least I know the difference between the two headers you are looking at in Summit ! I.m not going to tell you that the cheaper one is only the passenger side................. DOH..................

They sell just the passenger side to catch a fool once in awhile, and the Summit brand is probably made by Red China ! Of course the Hedman's are most likely Mexico trade deficit models !

Not sure but that was what I was trying to buy the first time and Summit was out of stock but kept telling me "2 weeks".

After about 8 weeks I'd had enough and the substituted the Walker headers that were in stock for the same price.

American-made Hedman Hedders have been helping racers unleash more power since 1954! Every set of headers Hedman makes is mandrel-bent for a consistent internal diameter and maximum flow, then flame-tested against leaks. For easy installation, they have unique ball socket collector flanges, which give you up to 20° of connection flexibility in case your pipes don’t match up perfectly. Hedders come with all the gaskets and hardware you need, plus instructions. All of Hedman’s Street Hedders are warranted for life, while Husler Hedders for racing have a 3-year limited warranty. Hedman also makes mufflers, exhaust tips, catalytic converters, tubing, and other exhaust parts to those same high standards of performance and quality.

i see Summit claims their headers are made in the USA ! They must have imported the Chinese instead of the headers !

I had Appliance headers.They were a good set except they had a 4 bolt square collector.Ran them on the 65 440 for years.I have a set that I pulled in the garage but I have no idea what brand.They fit pretty good in the 65.Then I went TTIs when they were CPPA.Thats a long time and they are still as strong as when I installed the.Just not as pretty.Rocky
