Have any of you on here bought and used a set of Patriot BB 1 7/8 x 3 inch street headers on a 1966 to 1970 B body  If so how did you like them and how is the fit and installation  Thanks in advance for all comments

they fit my 68 charger low deck very well, they are a thicker gauge than some other Cheap brands

Hey Cab,did you ever give these a shot? How did you like them? My old headmans bit the dust.. blew a hole I the #3 primary right next to the exhaust port. I really want Doug' 452's. But they're only available with a 2" prinmary !!  ..don't wanna sacrifice the low end on my mild combo. i definitely plan on stepping up my cam in the future, so maybe the Doug's won't be a bad choice? This is a .040 over 440 with 10.3-1 compression and the .528 solid purpleshaft. Promaxx 210cc heads,Performer RPM,3600 stall 3.91 gears. Any info would be appreciated.

I hate to say this but I don't remember now  I have a new set of headers I bought and have only used on my engine run stand so that may be them I bought a used set of Hooker headers for that car from someone on here and they are on that car now, they are well used and thin in some places so the other set may end up on that car this year

Patriot & Dougs are the same company

Patriot & Dougs are the same company Correct, I'm aware of that, speaking with them though, I was told the two headers are not the same dimensionally. Meaning, the Patriots may not drop in like the "great fitting Doug's 452's" . Anyone else have experience with the Patriots on an RB ? I have also heard the ceramic coated Summit brand headers are re-branded Patriots. ??
