I'm in the market for a set of headers. I currently have a 350 with stock manifolds, out through a pair of Flowmasters. I love the deep, guttural growl and want to emphasize it. I also want to stay away from the "hollow" sounding types. What headers are you ladies and gents running on your Chevelles? How does it sound? Lets hear it Team Chevelle!!!

Hooker Comps, from JetHot. For a mild SBC, I'd opt for the Dynmomax coated headers from Summit, about $215. Use 1 5/8 tubes, not 1 3/4.

I have Hooker Comp headers and they are very nice. My buddy just put the Hooker Comps on his 350 and we had to beat on them a little to get them to fit.

Hedman shorties. Not coated. Easy install, no problems with ground clearance, had 'em since '96 with no problems. Minor surface rust, but no rust through in 4 years.

Dynomax ceramic coats on both my 66 SB and my 72 BB elky.No problems with either for fit. Summit for both for about $210.Can't beat it.

FlowTech ceramic..........

next time it will be the Dynomax ceramic. The FlowTech's peeled a 'half dollar' size ceramic peice, whithin 1/2 hour of putting them on.

Hooker Competition, which are being coated at HTC Coatings as we speak. I'm looking forward to getting them back.

One thing I WILL be doing is to install a X-over tube to balance out the "BRrraaapp" sound it makes when I back out of it at higher rpm's

Hooker Super Comps with Flowmaster American Thunder system on my mild 327.....
It sounds great.

Hooker Comps, though they rub real good on the steering. Heard super comps should heal that though, more set up for specific applications.
