TTI headers where to buy? - 07/11/15 12:51 AM

I am in the market for a new set of TTI headers for my 383 ion the roadrunner and was wondering the best place (meaning best price) to get them from.

Thank you
Stu

I have bought them both from TTI directly and through Mancini Racing. Mancini simply has TTI ship them from their place in SoCal.
Other times I have bought them at the L.A. Spring or Fall Fling to save a few bucks.
Next time, I'm going to try Doug's Headers. I have read that the quality is the same but they are 25% cheaper.

Stu, whats wrong with the headers you have? If they are just beat up have them re coated.

Hi Herb I am debating on just recoating them vs buying new as they are getting a little beat up after 15 years.

Its $265 to have them re-coated in shiny ceramic but i just checked the TTI website and new ones are.......$950! That seems insane!So that may be out of the question as i had no idea that were that much! eek

Yup: Then try paying a few hun to have them shipped to Canada. For me though it was worth it, the Hookers they replaced just didn't cut it.

The best deal is probably Bill @ Chicago Connection because he ships free. It will come direct from TTI so in your case not as much of a saving. I bought direct from TTI this week through my friend's business and saved a bunch even with the shipping to the East Coast.

Hey, it's for a MOPAR. If you want $69.00 headers you need to buy a chevy.

HMM might want to check out JET HOT. http://www.jet-hot.com/

I send all of our customers headers to them. The turnaround is pretty quick and their coating is beyond reproach. Not sure about used headers but I think they can handle it. shruggy

Yep, the price of new ones are expensive. I redid my TTI headers for my gtx a couple of years ago at a place in San Carlos. Dont recall the name at the moment, but they are off Old County Road and did a great job.

Worth every penny, you can have them made out of stainless steel for only $1800.

i'm not in love with tti's prices either; but after the installation when you consider the fit and time to install i'm a satisfied customer.

being a mid-westerner i've always wondered how much of tti's and edelbrock's pricing are influenced by california taxes,.....?

Back in the early 2000's, when I was putting my dart together, I purchased my entire TTI exhaust (headers to tailpipes) from John Cambridge @ Baxter dodge (he was the parts mgr). Back then, he was the man to get the best deal from. Not sure if that is still the case.

I will be in the market for some good headers for a 400 storked motor with Edelbrock EZ heads. Be following what the majority says.

I got my TTI's from Mancini about 10 years ago... easy to work with.

I just bought a set a couple of weeks ago. They fit a B engine A body perfectly- I wasted my $$ trying to make B engine headers work. The nickle chrome ones look nice and save about $200. I'm not worried about blueing- two reasons, 1- it's been dyno'd so the tune should be pretty close and 2- I like the bluing look. As far as the cost, they are well built and if there was that much margin someone else would be knocking them off. I've learned my lesson no more cheap headers. twocents

ROAD TRIP!!! Go visit the magic kingdom and go a bit further south to Corona. It's not a bad drive once you get out of Anaheim.

I've used both Dougs and TTI and documented the difference. These are 440 with 2" pipes -

TTI



Dougs



TTI



Dougs



TTI dings the tube for plug clearance, Dougs does not, but it's a tight fit without the ding

My old CPPAs were one of the first sets they made.They are crusty now but still solid.My 6 cyl is a royal pain to change in my 65 440 B body.4 isnt real easy either.I run 2 inch tubes think smaller would be easier.Rocky

The full length 1-3/4". They are a little small, but I have a stock stroke 400 and it's a street car with a full exhaust (Pypes 2-1/2" X pipe). I looked online and found calculators that recommended anything from 1-5/8" to 2-3/8" eek for the primary tubes. If I have a 500" motor I'd want bigger but since Andy F made 550 Hp with a 470 and cast manifolds, I don't think I'm giving up much.

I bought my 2" TTI's from Mancini in 2011 and paid around $671 dollars. I bought them just as they come in the nickle coating as I did not get any extra coating which can run the price up close to $1000 if you get all the coating. Mine are holding up fine for me just the way I bought them. Ron

I would recommend the TTI's, I bought them from Rob's Rod Shop. I got 10% off for the Carlisle Chrysler Show. They shipped directly from TTI. I went with the 1 7/8 in my 69 RR. They fit great but I wasn't to happy with the polish ceramic coating. That burned off on some tubes after a couple hours. I don't think the coating is that great. I also used studs on them.
