Default Engine break in side pipe headers

Moderators, please move if this is in the wrong folder and if appropraite make this a sticky.

I did not want to use my Hooker Sterling jet hot coated sidepipe headers for the break in of my stroker, so I purchased a set of clones. They are uncoated metal, fit was perfect, bolted right up with no problems. I would like to offer up these headers to anyone who may need them. My intent is to have these available to any member who may need them to test or break in a new cam or engine and not wanting to use their headers. These are the headers only not the side pipes. My idea is if you need the headers I can ship them to you for the actual cost of shipping. When you are done and if another member needs them they can pay for the cost of shipping to their location.

If there isnt a interest then I will look for other options for the pipes.

This formum has been a wealth of information and many members have helped me in my work so I wanted to give back.
