| Post subject: | Most cost efficient headers to buy? |
I want to ask around and find out which company makes the most cost efficient(not cheaply made) headers? I know Doug Dutra makes a great manifold, and I'm considering ordering one, but I want to know who makes a great set of headers? I don't want to spend the 500 dollars for the hooker headers. My price range is probably 200-350. Could a competent exhaust shop make a set if I provided the flanges for it? And with most headers do I need to go to the mini starter, or can I still use the regular one? |

My 67 Dart with 225 engine has Clifford shortys, standard sized starter, and the starter can be removed and installed with headers in place. |

Early on before I knew anything about cars, I bought pace maker headders, cost around $450. They are good Mandrel bends etc. Then I looked on ebay, every now and again second hand headders, same/very similar design. $50. Sometimes they needed painting, or rust work, or had the occasional repairable hole. I would wait for second hand to save money and get decent quality. Thanks. |

I also run the Clifford Shortys. To have them custom made would cost well over $1000 in my estimation. I know there was some custom bends and stuff to join the headers with the underside of the car. He said he'd have charged me a lot more if he knew he was in for all of that bending. All I can say is that he looked at my car, so he should have known before he started. |
