Looking for a new set of 2" hedders for a RB stoked to 505 CI with EZ heads. They will be going in a third gen Charger. Are the TTI worth the extra $$?
no

Thanks for the replies, sure miss the days of the local speed shop where you could look at stuff before you buy.
You remember them days too ? The good old days. Ron

Grew up in Lincoln, Nebraska. As a kid remember many long hours hanging out at the corner speed shop,,,Speedway Motors,,,some of you may have known early employees Jerry Jantzen, Marti Bassett, Johnny Marsh, and of course Speedy Bill Smith(who passed a couple of months ago). He left quite a legacy particularly in circle track racing early on before anyone knew much about it,,,and of course one of, if not the largest(Summit?) automotive speed and high performance parts suppliers in the world. Certainly influenced my later life and my love of old cars and making them go fast and look good.

Maybe this

I have Doug's on my Barracuda. You can hear the "ticking" sound that mopars make with the Doug's headers. I was told the ticking sound is not an exhaust leak, but a byproduct of the firing order. That same person told me you won't hear that when using the TTI's. He told me Doug's are cheap headers and the TTI's are better. He runs a Mopar shop here in CO and has been in business for 30 years or so.
There are Dougs and then there are Doug Thorleys. Very different company's. There is nothing cheap about Dougs.

I have to agree as I use TTI's and love them but the cars I look at with Doug's look like they are first class headers to me. Ron

Doug's headers are a little bit less money but the same quality IMHO. I run a 143 tooth flywheel with a steel can and the Doug's D-452 headers fit perfectly. I just needed to remove the grease fitting from my pitman arm and put a few notches in the flange of my bell. Gus
