Default *Which Headers Are You Using With Your Angled Plug Heads?*

I would like to buy a set of new headers that I don't have to ding or smash to make them fit.

If I can't find any I might just re-coat my existing headers.

I'm running Hooker Super Comps on my AFR 210 heads with angle plugs with no clearance issues at all.

I have TFS heads and Hooker Super Comp headers. I had to grind the flanges enough to get a socket on a couple of the plugs. Otherwise no clearance problems.

Are you using short plugs or standard length? Is there a benefit to angle plugs? I've always read it was a wash as far as performance.

They came with a note from Hooker Headers / Holley.

1 1/2 hours to put them on once exhaust manifolds were removed.

Great fit great quality.
