I want the ceramic coating but at $500 bucks its kinda high. I need this type to go into my Sweet thunder 2 1/2" side exhaust
Hooker used to make a header like that....the collector was cut back a little further to tie into factory side exhaust on C2 and C3.......I can't find it on Holley's website and Google is no help because all it shows is thousands of Hooker side exhaust photos......it sucks because they had them in the catalog since the 70's.......
I came very close to putting a set on the 66' in the Avatar......but sold it before I could......it needed them!

Just for those who are interested,
Here is a picture of my new Headman BB long tube headers.
Notice they do make their headers with the bell type collector and the movable type flange.
