I was originally looking for long tube headers but was afraid of the floor getting way to hot ( I am building a 69 Beach cruiser.) I purchased these shorties not sure how they would fit but they are perfect. I am running a 351W and I couldn’t be more happy with them, lots of space, easy in easy out. Thx, James

Substantial and really nice looking. Time will tell as to the durability of the ceramic finish, but initial impressions are high.

I replaced a 1993 set of K bar S long headers with this short set. This allowed me to gain clearance around my M5OD R2 / Dana 20 / Adapter kit with special cross member. These are high quality and work great for this application.

High quality product at a great price. Worked as expected, I ended up with ceramic coated since stainless was backordered and I’m glad I did. Fit great but I did have to trim corner off the motor mount on the driver’s side and also excess casting on my AOD on the passengers side. Very satisfied
