Exactly what I said in post #97.

I still do not have mine running but there are no issues at this point with these cheap headers...

InLimbo · 11-01-2011, 01:34 AM

Has anyone seen these on ebay recently? I am not very good at searches.

Searched for speeddaddy.com, long tubes sell for $199 all day long. Thinking about it...

No but look at these, they look just like the truck ones.

Saw it earlier in the thread, but want to verify...why does header wrap ruin headers?
I've never used it but considered it one time...

Your41Plague12 · 11-02-2011, 01:38 AM

Header wrap will keep things cooler under the hood, but it will also trap condensation against your headers and rot them out quicker. It's just a gimmick if you ask me. If you're concerned about the plug wires burning up, either route them accordingly using wire looms or use some of the individual tubular pieces of header wrap and run the spark plugs through them. It won't look pretty, but it will work.

BigRed76 · 11-03-2011, 01:56 AM

Ok that makes sense about the header wrap. I was told once that the wrap would trap more heat in the exhaust increasing the headers efficiency

FatBud89 · 01-09-2012, 09:09 PM

I just ordered a set of coated headers off eBay they where about 215.00 with shipping. They say they will fit angle plug heads. I will let you know how it works out when I get them... Budd

I had some from e bay for 150 shipped and they were better than my 350. headman ones. The headmans were junk! The e bay were on my suburban for 7 years and are still on it now with no problems! The only problem was I had to change my dipstick to get them to work,

FatBud89 · 01-09-2012, 10:26 PM

My main concern is getting them to fit with the angle plugs. I know lots of guys on here have the hooker super comps. I will post some pictures when I get them on.... Budd

I had a set of JBA stainless shorty headers ($650 bucks) they discolored just like the ones in the pics in the topic!

1985-GMC · 01-16-2012, 12:31 AM

I can't find these on ebay anymore but I think I found them on this website: http://www.jdmcenter.com/product.htm...c5-k5-jimmy-v8

hotrod_991 · 01-16-2012, 12:04 PM

I might just try thies ones out. for the price not really too much of a risk.

hotrod_991 · 01-17-2012, 06:58 PM

just checked the BBB and the alert says the company is outa business, tried to call and got "call cannot be completed at this time...

1985-GMC · 01-17-2012, 11:35 PM

Well I wouldn't give two hoots what the BBB has to say about any company, you have to pay them money to be on their list of "good" business's. Your better off with a google search.

hotrod_991 · 01-18-2012, 10:36 AM

I will try and call the company again today and google them aswell.

hotrod_991 · 01-18-2012, 01:29 PM

those are for 88 and up, dont know if they would work for 73-87 trucks

1BadAction · 02-27-2012, 12:44 PM

Nary a cheep big block header in sight

MilkyJoe · 02-27-2012, 01:06 PM

I may pick up a set-they look great IMO and the price definetly helps

my stock manifolds keep leaking, out with the old in with the new

RICHARD MORGAN · 11-03-2012, 10:23 PM

Just found this thread! These seem like a great deal! Has anyone tried the headers below on a 1972 K10?

http://speed-daddy.com/index.php/hea...5-k10-k15.html

VA72C10 · 11-03-2012, 11:05 PM

I don't know about the K10 but I found a set of these here for 149 shipped...they are 165.49 shipped now but that's still SUPER cheap for ceramic coated....

http://www.ebay.com/itm/NEW-Mid-Leng...4dd98d&vxp=mtr

I had to modify my sbc motor mounts and slightly clearance the frame on the passenger side for them to fit, but I've also heard 73-up mounts will work with no mods and those are available for cheap in salvage yards...
