I've used both sizes of the BB Hooker A body headers and one size of the Hedmans in many different A body BB Mopars, I liked the Hedmans the best I have a slightly used set of older Pro Part 2.0 primarys that I had one pipe(#7) modded a little to fit in my H code 1969 Dart GTS, I ran them about 30 miles and thenput some stock manifolds on it. Those headers where designed for 440 blocks in A bodies, not low decks They are available and for sale PM me, anybody, if interested

I've had many guys tell me over the years that the Hedman 2" fenderwell headers fit better, last longer, and run better than the Hookers. I haven't owned either one of them, I just gathered info when I was thinking of running them. I can't stand short front tires so I ended up with the Proparts 2" Semi-fenderwell headers.
With today's engine diapers I think fenderwell headers are a good idea if they could fit a 26" tire in an A-body.

I have and love my Hookers, no experience with Hedman for the Demon but had them Hedman headers on my 86 Grand Wagoneer they were a nice piece.
Low deck in my Demon no trans moving or clearance issues for me.

The Hookers have awfully long primaries with the collector under the car. They work pretty well with typical small port mopar heads, but for bigger power the Hedmans should be better.

With the Hedman's, can you adjust shocks from the top of the shock tower? Wondering if they have enough clearance for something like that.

Can you guys run a 26" front tire with the Hedman's in an a-body?
