No, I have Hedman headers and they are fine. They are older but they had some coating on them and they still look great.

Nope, my side pipe headers are up nice and tight to the frame.
I'm running Hooker Header Side Pipes

Mine are Lemons 2 1/4" race headers. I guess they are just lower than some others.

Yes they do. Had a set on my 68, they were alright till I would hit a good dip in the road,then you would hear the dreaded collecter meets road sound. By the way, they are for sale 100.00 plus shipping. They don't make the best wall ornaments! Anyone can pm me if interested
