RobG OP top fuel Joined: Jan 2003 Posts: 2,331 Addison Twp, Mi.	I received a set of used Cyclone Headers for free and I was wondering if anyone ever heard of these. I have not, and I would like to know if they are good or junk? They are for a 340. The photo is one I found on Ebay. 7450058-$(KGrHqZ,!pwFB,4zTr11BQkcrtJmjQ~~60_14.jpg (504 downloads) I am not rich...but I get off my ass everyday to make sure I am not broke! Can we get the Mexican cartels to help us with our supply chain issues? They don't seem to have any trouble getting stuff from one place to another.

IIRC, they were acquired by the Mr Gasket company, who i think also owned Blackjack and Appliance. As mentioned, about on par with other cheap headers. I had to ding mine in some spots.

Now that I know that TTIs go over the center link, not under them like those headers do I would not use them. I wore holes in those headers from rubbing the ground going over bumps and into driveways. I think these cheap headers go under the steering link. Last edited by Challenger 1; 11/06/12 10:06 AM.

My mom had a creadit card acount with them. What can I say. When the box came from Sears it said Cyclone o it. Good headers. Still have them hangining in my garage today. Love them 68 MOPARS! GTS 340 auto, Charger R/T 440 4-speed, Superbee 383 auto, GTX 440 auto, D100 (new front frame 5.7 hemi - in process), Formula S 340 4-Speed A/C (it's green), 383 auto Roadrunner (maybe a hemi - waiting) and a 68 W200 Power Wagon. Drivers: 07 Cummins and 14 Ecodiesel 4x4.

If you have a col shift auto be prepared to be hammering and heating collectors for room even after flipping the shift bracket. Hookers are my choice and even they don't always fit correctly. in every case

Been on for a lot of years, but what a giant PITA to get there... (All K-frames are not created equal)...

They look to be in good shape. They were last on a car in 1977 and for not that long of time. I am not rich...but I get off my ass everyday to make sure I am not broke!

I helped a buddy put a set of Cyclone headers and Purple Hornies on a '70 Duster 340 when I was in high school. Headers were a PITA to get in, (it would have helped if we had known what we were doing) and it was almost impossible to keep the 5 and 7 plug wires from burning off. The Purple Hornies were LOUD.
