I just put one on my Demon. I have Hooker headers, but not the ones they specify to use with the kit. I also changed a few things, like added some cut outs and used the factory tips. If you have it exactly as they spec, it might be a true bolt on. I ended up cutting and fitting pieces to make it work, and actually had to use pieces in the incorrect position. Overall fit is probably about 6/10 on my application. I'd have been money ahead having an exhaust shop custom bend a system.

I have the A-Body Jegs kit on my '89 Diplomat which has crate 360 and TTI Headers. The car did not come with dual exhausts, so I had to shift the gas tank over slightly to right, and extend fuel fill tube. A little modification was needed on driver's side (the stock single came out passenger side) where front seat mounts. Overall though, I would say it is a very nice kit and I have been happy with it. I got the kit without mufflers, and added Walker Quiet Flows.
Facts are stubborn things.

I was planning to buy a TTI dual exhaust for my 67 383 dart, but the Jeg's kit offers the same features and materials for about 500 less. Has anyone used the Jegs kit? It's designed to fit Hooker headers, but I'd be inclined to stay with tti headers....has anyone tried the jegs exhaust with tti headers? Thanks!
Not anywhere near the same features as a TTI system.
No X or H pipe.
Universal hangers instead of TTI´s OEM type hangers.
Piece of crap flanges on the reducers(if reducers are included)
Not made for headers with collectors that point inwards.
Cheaper mufflers.
Have seen pics of those systems installed and they are not anywhere near as nice fitting.

The Jegs/Summit exhaust are made by Heartthrob. While they are a third the price of TTi units, unless you e got the Hooker Super Comp headers, they won't come close to fitting with TTi headers. Ask me how I know... I was under my 70 Superbee tonight trying to get mine to fit. Everything from the mufflers back fit fine. Everything from the fronts of the mufflers to the headers is pretty useless. I ended up using my TTi collecter adapters, a pair of Walker 3" ID to 2 1/2" ID reducers, reversed the exhaust pipes end to end, cut them in two, added a Summit H pipe, tossed out two short pieces that go between the mufflers and exhaust pipes, stubbed the exhaust pipes to the mufflers and clamped it all together. I've got 14 hours into it. Never again.
I’m listening.

I have used both the A-body and B-body systems. The B-body needed some minor tweaking but no problems at all with the A-body.
For a $500 difference I don't mind doing some tweaking.

HTH is that relevant to an A body?
It's not.
They say there are no such thing as a stupid question.
They say there is always the exception that proves the rule.
Don't be the exception.

It's not.
He said he's wanting to stick with TTi headers. the difference between super comps and TTi headers would be relatively the same between A to B body. Hookers are shorter and don't angle the same at the collector regardless, right? Everything I said about the heartthrobs fitting well from the mufflers back applies to A bodies as well.
That's how the hell it is relavant, thank you very much.  p

I imagine it will be pretty similar for the A body. Thanks for your input!

Worked for many years with exhaust and became sort of picky on details 
I realize my reply might seem alitle harsh and want to add that i think the Summit/Jegs kits might be a fairly good value for what they are but i think the TTI kit is quite a few notches higher in my simple opinion

No it won't.
I have three of these kits on A body cars. 2 cars with tti and they required some reworking of the headpipes. I also placed the mufflers on the car the way they are supposed to go which greatly reduced install issues.
