What are the best headers for a 340 A-body? Mild engine 300-400hp???

I've had headmans in the past, but they hang down extremely low. I would like something that tucks up a little tighter than those.

Long tubes that fit, only two options.

Dougs D453 and tti.

Dougs are around 500-600 with ceramic coatings.

Summit/Jegs sells Dougs.

Amazon has them too with free shipping for about $595

Performance difference at 300-350hp... not worth a thought.

$600 w/ free shipping sounds like a good deal to me! Wish the TTIs were a little cheaper, but oh well. Dougs will do.

I like tti headers... except the price.

The worshipers have been in with nothing else fits lines. That's not correct, but, you can't get everyone to see.

I've run both and I've always bought Dougs unless there is something specific I'm looking for.

When you get in the 450hp range the tti will perform slightly better, maybe 8-10hp at peak. Not enough for me unless you are trying to run a number. At 300-400 range, you won't likely see a 4-5hp difference.

As long as the car isn't a 4 speed, you'll have little or no issues with either choice. Dougs even fit with a 727, which the catalog says they won't... go figure...

Might be better to go through summit. I don't believe they are hitting people with tax, unlike amazon. Summit has a free ship deal on right now.

Can I add a couple questions to the thread? Do both Doug's and TTI allow for PS in A-Bodies? And what issues may there be within the installation if one were to have a manual trans?

If you check out their website they have all the footnotes and issues with fit listed.

The lower arm of the z-bar may interfere w/the tubes. A little bending of the lower portion of the arm may be required to clear the tubes. I believe there is a specific z-bar available for that clearance. Again, just bent mine a tad, no problems at all. Other than that, excellent fit, no dinging the tubes but I have manual steering.

Others may have had to shim the motor mounts a tad for proper clearance. Maybe others will chime in on issues w/install.
