    Mind if I ask how much?
    I'm assuming 350 plus shipping, but you know what happens when you assume.

    I should have been more specific. I'm more interested in the shipping costs.

    OK, I bet it is at least $40 for shipping.

    Got my headers today via Fedex...they look great! :D

    I had forgotten about having to cut the center rib on the shock tower...but since I have the motor out it shouldn't be a big deal. It looks like they give you a template and the small piece of steel to weld in place...

    Got mine today.
    Box was a little damaged and had a couple of holes. Lost 2 headers bolts during shipment.

    I'm impressed with the tubing quality. It seems to be thicker than what i've seen from other companys.

    The flanges don't look quite right to me however.
    I predict they will put up a fight during alignment to the heads.

    I will also be grinding the openings a little bit as not all are the same size. There are two that are particularly smaller than the rest.

    Got mine today. They look awesome. Maybe a little pinched in the flanges but I'm not too worried. I talked with my machine shop and when I dyno my engine I am going to run it with the crites and then with the hookers to see if there's really a big difference. Probably won't be till feb or march but I will let you all know for sure how it turns out. :drive:

    I plan to use a die grinder to "smooth -out" all of the sharp edges around the flanges and also clean up the insides of the flange welds.

    When the time comes I will test fit the headers onto the car...then remove them and have them coated before the final install.


    I`m very curious to see if anyone decides to try them on a car with a 302 in it.

    I`d like to see pics of the fit.
