Header choice?
 
I'm considering changing the headers on my 70 chevelle SBC I've been thinking about the hooker super comp's and the dyna-techs? anyone have any input?

If I was to buy new headres I would get headman husslers.

I did not know better when I got the super comp's.

Please explain. I like the Super Comps but do not know anything about the Headman's.

I've used both. The Hedmans were excellent on my 496. When I went to the 572ci I put on a new set of Hookers. They lasted one season and started splitting. Had to repair in three places. Next season had to replace a whole pipe.
Needed some new collectors. They were only available black heat painted so had to get them recoated.

X2 lemons headers. Just buy a $1500 T-shirt and you get the headers for free :lol:

the super comps wrap around the frame and I had to slice the collector to bend it away from the power glide on the drivers side ,these headers were coated



the husslers are in frame,clear the gilde and are 1& 7/8 tube
