Going to put some long tubes on my '69, these should work right? Its a manual transmission and has a steeroids kit on it. Any help/comments is appreciated! Thanks.

I put these on my '74 small block. They fit fine. After a while they will turn a slight greyish color which I've heard many others talk about. I didn't notice that my car picked up any power but then again it's a stock 195 hp engine. Soon to be changed though. Have the Stroker on the way.

I bought them, but have not installed them yet. Many people said that they fit great, so I chose them.

The Hedman Elites are nice fitting and looking header in the same price range. Summit HED-68308.

Performance wise the Stan's Tri Ys are nice, not ceramic though.

I ran them for about 6 months. Went thru 3 sets of gaskets. Did not like the way the flanges were made, seemed to cut right thru the gaskets. I finally put copper ones on and that worked for a bit. They do fade and grey out after a bit.
