I've read every old post I can find - and talked with some folks.


1) Seems like Doug's are still a good choice if 1 7/8 are enough.


2) I "think" Hooker super comps are next - come w/ 2" primaries for more HP in larger CI builds. I heard from some that they hang lower than Doug's and scrub.

3) Maybe Hedmans are last - come with 2" primaries but maybe more fitment issues and scrub as bad as Hooker SC's.

4) Mad dog headers are a little nebulous - I am not sure "if" they come in round port for second generation F body cars.




Love to hear from folks with real experience. I need some w/ larger primary heades for a 76 TA and think I'll get the Hooker SCs. I wish Doug's came with 2" primaries.

Maddog can make them for you.
I did search here, found his name and number then called. Real nice guy - bent thousands of Pontiac headers over the years
I've seen "others" have fitment issues.

Hookers do hang low.
On a 70 T/A a set only had 4" of ground clearance on a car that had a stock ride height.

Only twist on my build is that I am putting an IAII in the car with Eheads - a previous poster had trouble w/ maddogs and a 1st gen. FB and an IAII.



I called Mark - he said he didn't not know if that would be a problem or not.
