Hedmans are the first ones that I would go with... To many horror stories about Flowtec the ones that Summit and Jegs carry that have their brand on. I just bought a set of Hookers for my 81 Dually from Advance Auto. Their price was better than Summits when you use their discount codes. I got the headers, clamps and hangers for less than a set f Hedmans were through Summit. I agree TTIs are nice but priced out of sight.
I am truckless..

I have always judged a header by the thickness of the mounting flange and the quality of the welds. I have had a set of Hooker Super Comps that were coated when new, they still seal great and look good. My 2 cents

What are these codes ...and what was the final price?

Take care, Rick 68 Coronet R/T 440 & 68 Charger 528 Hemi,and 5 Challengers! 6 cyl, 318, 360, 383, 451

Does (Jere) Stahl still make headers? If so he by far has the best "real world performance" headers or should I saw "head on his shoulders" when it comes to making headers.
Yes Jere Stahl is still in the header business and probably still makes the best headers.

I am thinking Doug's or TTI. If Doug's are good I may go with them,and save some money.
My Doug's fit well but the ceramic coat started rusting within a couple years. This was in a car that is always stored indoors and lightly driven.
