You can order a set of hookers thru summit racing, mine took about 4 weeks to get, hooker had to build them. They are full length headers

Dutra duals are better on a street slant.

It's just as well Clifford doesn't have them for you. They have a long and ugly reputation for being a bunch of clowns; see for example here, here, here, here, and here. Much of what they sell is inaccurately described, and a lot of it is not even slightly cost-effective. The good news is that you don't need to go to Clifford to get hot rod parts for slant-6s.

What kind of vehicle are you building up? Street, race, car, truck...? If you're driving on the street, you'd likely be happier with Dutra Duals.

Are Dutra's available for purchase, or does one have to hack up their own manifolds?

Not that I am averse to that, but some I am certain would be happy to find a seller to sell them already done, maybe with a trade in of their existing exhaust manifold?

Yes...
I make sets of "Dutra Duals" for people on a "as ordered" basis.

Most buyers do exactly what you discribe, they send me a used factory SL6 exhaust manifold, to modify into a rear section and I send them a complete set, in return.
(A new Dutra casting for the front and also modify their exhaust manifold, to use on the rear)

Send me a PM for cost info.

I will do that, unfortunately, it looks like a year at least before I need to even look into getting it done.

So, I will probably PM you some time in the future.

Thank you for the reply!
