TPIS makes a full length ceramic coated header with stand offs so the accessories bolt up with least hassle, though they are more $$ than other units.

I believe a lot of guys use Headman & Hooker full lengths.

Hi.
I have newly bought and received the TPIS headers. They look great as they are ceramic coated and you can use all the stock accessories with the withpout buying adapters etc. The new ones are also corrected for the straight plugs on the cast iron heads so it is not necessary to dent the primary tube of #7 primary tube. I will have them installed the 8th of april. Have also heard a lot of positive feedback from other users of them
Good luck

I am putting the 2151-1 cermaic coated NON-AIR version on my 85, would have got the TPIS if I could have afforded them, I got the Hookers at a really good deal. If you want o keep your AIR stuff Hooekr makes the 2149 and Lingenfelter makes a nice header also.

Summit and Jeg's are two of the more popular mail order sources. You can call Holley for the name of your nearest dealer. The 2151's are not coated. If you want a ceramic coating, look for 2151-1. Good luck, and...

RACE ON!!!
