Default Headman Headers

I was just cleaning up my headers and realized that the welds are shot and I need a new set.

Has anybody tried Headman Hedders model 68300 on a '72 with a 350?

I'm a little worried because the description on summittracing.com mentions "Will not fit steering damper inside front crossmember."

Thanks!

Check these out:

Cheaper, and several forum members have reported that they fit great, no problems. I am planning on purchasing a set of these soon, myself.


Keep the shiny side up!

Thanks for the advice, but the headers mentioned are 18-gauge with a 5/16" flange. I was hoping to find something with 16 gauge tubes and a 3/8" flange.

Has anybody tried either of these?

They look very similar to the ones mentioned above, but have the stouter tubes and flanges.

Thanks!
