Default Best Headers 69'

Hey guys, looking to get headers for my 69' 350/350 4 speed. Would like some recommendations on some good quality no headache installation headers. Also what mufflers are you running. Thanks Frank

I know this is off topic, but I was thinking about getting a set of BF Goodrich tires. What size are you using? Thx.

Those came on the car when I bought it, there 235 70 R15.
No rubbing issues at all but I think next time I'd like a 60 series tire.

Recommendation: When you buy a set, as a minimum have the plasma coated with ceramic. It is not perfect and can crack and flake off. I think you should really try to buy stainless steel. They might develop blueing near the head exhaust outlets, but they'll always look nice. IMO.

Doug's D334 ceramic coated headers bolted right into my 72 small block. You can certainly spend more $$ but Amazon has them for about $450. I'm using 2.5" corvette central exhaust from mid pipe back, going thru magnaflow mufflers. I had to fab the connector pipes from the header collector to the mid pipes, then had those pieces powder coated with a hi temp silver coating. I was about $1000 for the complete exhaust, and I did it in my garage.you'll spend that on a quality set of kooks SS headers alone.
