Yeah they cost more but they are high quality. Tri-Y Headers You have to look at all of the varibles. Those are the small 1 5/8" primary tube. That is pretty small for a 440. A mild build 440 should have at least a 1 3/4". I have a 523 stroker that I am vasolating between 1 7/8--2" as they are exactly double the price for the 2" When you get into the 1 7/8--2" is where you have the fit problem at the steering box. Not hard to clear the steering with the puny 1 5/8" primary tube.

Those Tri-Y's fit perfectly and are easy to install. They don't trap anything. No ground clearance problems of any kind. Quality is very good. I heard they are manufactured by TTI but only sold through Schumacher. Great for a "cruiser". They also add a nice sound when standing on the go pedal. If you want quality, easy install and looks...them be the ones. I'm sure they flow a lot better than shorties; and stock exhaust manifolds for sure.

Yes their primaries are small but they go in and out EASY, are built with beefy steel and allow easy starter and plug changes. I bet they flow better than OEM hi perf manifolds- and many run the iron manifolds on built stealthy stock looking engines. Keep old mopars alive.

If its much effort I would probably be better off with a different option.

But thier small block set is not 180 for some reason. bang for the buck the Hooker 1 7/8" are worth the extra $$$ over the Hedman/Summit 1 3/4" mainly since they are both a thicker flange and primary tube gauge. I like to run the hookers with a 3 1/2" slip-fit collector after cutting off the factory (too small) 3". It's an easy job for any competent exhaust shop.

This test helped convince me that I'd probably never notice the difference. Andy F made 550hp with 470" a mp.528 cam and stock HP manifolds I have that magazine test mule motor Andy built in my car. He had upgraded the cam to a bigger Comp grind. I downgraded back to the 528. What a great cam (gave Andy the Comp cam back). I have TTI's on my Challenger and am going back to manifolds with big headpipes. Headers are a pain cause even the TTI's rust and look like crap. IF someone made SS headers I'd be all over that but I don't have the time or $ to have a custom set made. I'd even go for some SS shorties www.DetroitMuscleTechnologies.com Mopar body and heater box restoration gaskets

Maybe not as shiny, but still looking good. They have kindda turned to a satin silver. 2010 Black Challenger SE <> 3.5 V6 Custom Shift Knobs www.flameball.com Check It Out

Plug access is amazing, you can R&R the starter without touching the headers, thick tubes and flanges, I'll post pics when I get home Last edited by roe; 04/23/14 05:07 AM. 1971 Plymouth Satellite 408/904 8 3/4 3.23 SG
