I'm looking for a set of tuned length (long tube) headers for my 86 Olds c/w SBC (406"). I am thinking 1 3/4" tubing and was wondering if anyone has a recommendation. I did a Google search and there does not appear to be very many companies that build these items but I admit I may not be the best at wording search parameters. Currently leaning toward Hooker Competition Ceramic Header 2451-1HKR. One of the reasons I am interested in this header is the shape and length of the collector. One thing of importance to me is that I don't want to have to bend or dent them to fit them in place or start chopping away at the car. Does anybody have any experience with these or have a better idea?
 
Hey Yoda. Just wanted to remind you that the 2451 is a 1 5/8" header. I agree that it seems like nobody makes decent 1 3/4" headers for the g-bodys. You'll find most at Shoenfeld, Kooks, and Lemons but at quite a price on the latter two. Don't miss Hedman Hustlers as they have some choices as well. I do have some new ceramic 1 3/4" Hookers I no longer need...
 
Guess I should've watched this thread more often. I might have been interested.

I bought the Hookers.

(and my buddy bought the blow..... just kidding)
 
The only headers i would ever recommend is American Racing Headers. I own a 1986 442 with an olds 350 and A.R. headers. Im so glad i went with them fitment was excellent and customer service was very good.
 
Those people have a very nasty web site. I googled "American Racing Headers" and clicked on their link. My machine froze immediately. I've tried it twice since then (3 in all) and every time I try to go there my machine freezes. My machine never freezes. Think I'll do an extensive malware sweep of my machine now. Who knows what bugs I might have got from them.
 
The only reason your computer froze was because there is a lot of video content on the website. My computer along with thousands of others have been capable of viewing the it. In my opinion A.R.H. has the best quality on the market hands down. The product is 100% U.S. MADE utilizing NO overseas garbage.
 
I have a core-duo machine with 4Gigs RAM, a 512Meg G-Force video card, a striping raid array for a hard disk and high speed connection. I seriously doubt my machine was overloaded by too much video.
 
time to upgrade yer flash/adobe?
