Depends on what you want power wise...For a mostly street engine,the Schumacher headers are hard to beat,but if it's a lot hotter combo,say more of a strip runner,then TTI is the header to use.

Which BB motor, low deck or high deck? And which heads will be on the motor? It makes a heck of a differences on which ones to use I have had and raced three BB A bodys so far, all of them started out with Hooker Fenderwell headers, the 1969 383 GTS Dart has chassis headers now

I have Hooker Super Comp fenderwell headers on my Duster and that is what came on the car, if I was to do it over I would go with TTI
headers.

I have a 68 a body with a 440 and victor heads. in MY setup i can tell you pro parts don't fit, CPPA's don't fit and headman fendwell headers don't fit.
CPPA's wanted the number 7 to go directly through my steering column.
Proparts needed about 1/4 in on the passenger side to clear the inner fender (hammer to the fender didn't provide the needed room) they also his my drag link.
Headman laid all over the inner fender and sat on the bottom of the car as well...

But if your looking for a set of headers that were beat on to try to make fit I'VE got a few sets

Depends on if its a B or RB,stock or raised exhaust ports, and what mounts you use. Schumacher mounts locate the engine low in the car and work well with RBs. I have CPPAs and a stock head B engine and I shimmed the mounts 3/16" and still had to to dent a tube major to clear the pitman arm stud. I have a buddy who ran CPPAs on a 440 with 440-1s with elaphant ears and for it to work the #2 tube basically layed on the passenger side inner fender. Now he has a B engine with the same heads and TTI 2-2 1/8" step headers and it seems to clear everything.

I cant believe they ding the tubes for the plugs at
the price you pay for those TTI headers(and that rear
tube has a pretty good ding)

I have the new style TTI/proparts headers that was modified some for a RB 440-1 head deal! not cheap by any means! with the price for raw headers and the ceramic coating I got about $1300+ into the setup...

the collectors were pointing down some when I first got them but that has been adjusted also.

nice and level now.

I run the TTI headers on my big block demon... I had to cut the collector off and put a slip on collector on them to help with installation.... I really dont care for the TTI headers

I have heard that the TTI's are a B*T*H to get on, unless you pop out the torsion bars. True or false TTI users??

i use 2" tti's on a 65 b-body and can put them on in less than an hour if the motor is raised; no torsion bar issues.

I have a low deck with B1-BS heads in my Dart. I have the TTI 2 1/8 step headers made for that combo. I did not have to grind, dent or ding them at all. They are NOT easy to put in... AlterKtion, so no torsion bar issues. I remove the steering column, swing engine to driver's side, put passenger's side header on, swing to passenger's side, install starter and driver's side header, install column. They are within a 1/2 inch of the pan rail, I have not made a diaper work on my Dart yet. The same header can be used with Stage VI's on a low deck but you have to tell TTI what heads you are using and they will dimple them for plug clearance. TTI sells a special plug wrench, well worth the $. That is the oil pan for the small engine in the K.

TTI's are a [Edited by Moparts - Family Friendly Site - Keep it clean] to fit, starter access is also very bad but they do go in without modification and are very good quality.
