Anyone actually used them?? I have 2" Pro Parts,but want something more street orientated.My thinking is that the FAST series cars run OEM manifolds,so my mild 440 in a 71 Demon should be able to run 11.80-12.00 using the Schumacher tubes with 2.5" exhaust and some sort of muffler like a DynoMax Ultra Flo.

Opinions??

I had them on my 383. Easy to install. Easy to get to plugs. Ran 11.64... through the Dynomax Super Turbos...

I use them in my '67 Dart with 440 and Edelbrock heads. I love them, they sound good, car seems fast, faster than my buddy's old mustang that went 12.0's, and they are very easy to work with. I'm using them with 3" X pipe exhaust (I figured I might need 3" system later on) and Magnaflows.

I like them so much, I wish they would make a larger set, like 1 3/4".

Are these Schumacher headers as good as TTI and how do the prices compare.I'm rebuilding my 383 in my 70 RR so fit it the big ticket item...

There's a comparison with some full length headers on the Schumacher website, not TTI but you do lose some power. They are more for a-bodies that are a tight fit for headers, b-bodies have more room and options. TTI is more spendy, but I haven't checked all the prices and options lately, since TTI keeps a tight reign on vendor pricing, you need to check around for shipping discounts.

I purchased mine several years ago. Great headers. I was told that Schumacher contracts TTI to build their headers, but only sold by Schumacher. They are good quality.

Edit: I called Schumacher later in the day to confirm they have TTI manufacture their headers. It had been several years since I asked. I remembered correctly.

I just got a sweet deal on a brand new set...a lot less than advertised and the guy who had them changed his mind and wanted to go to large tube headers.
