Summit here on my 69 B-body.
Fit was fixed with a hammer. Starter access is ruff... but they work.
I was asked to contribute money to help solve the civil unrest in Egypt, but I suspect it's some sort of pyramid scheme.

What engine size and hp range are you at? What exhaust size,converter stall,and gear ratio are you running? What headers are you running now?
My motor is a 440, soon to be rebuilt. The car is a 4-speed with 3.23 rear. I'm not sure what to do to the motor yet, but he's what I think it has now: 30 over, stage IV heads, lunatti cam, holley 750 dp and arias pistons. I'm looking to run on pump gas and the car won't see the track. I'm trying to keep my budget down and I'm looking for suggestions. My exhaust is currently 2.5, but I plan to upgrade to 3 in the future. Thanks, Jim

I have a set of Hooker Super Comps I think(came with car). They are 1 7/8",anyone know how they will fit in a 71 Charger with a 383? Its a stock HP motor,a little much for it,but as I said they came with the car,and I have no other exhaust.

i've heard a lot of people talk about getting out the hammer and how installing headers was such a pain...i had no problems with the install, no modifications of any kind to the headers or other parts. i believe i read that all of the headers produced for the BB mopars are virtually the same, yet so many are having problems
No 2 mopars are the same. Maybe yours fit because the guy who welded up the subframe was less drunk/stoned then the guy who did mine.
Would i buy another set of summit headers? For $70 bux ya. Would i expect them to fit like a $700 set of TTI's? Heck no.
yeah 'aint that ture "no two are the same" and even the high mighty TTi's have issues. For the price they charge that entire exhaust system should jump out of the box and install itself while you drink a cool one.

My TTI's fit perfect the first time, BUT the first thing in the instructions is to shim the engine per their specs before you begin the installation of the headers. I could afford them, not everyone can but why bash them because they are expensive. If you can't afford them there are cheaper ones, but you have to make them fit. You get what you pay for

I can afford them, who said I couldn't? I've used all kinds of headers on A and B body's, small and big blocks. I've been able to install them w/o many of the headaches people have. But then again I take my time, Jack the motor up, tilt it, remove the steering column if need be. Shim kit??? if they are so great you'd think they make so you wouldn't need a shim kit.
