68 b body headers, what fits? what doesnt?

[HawkRod]

I've never heard of any Mopar big block headers that didn't need to be finessed with a ball peen hammer. Why is that?

My TTIs for my 383 fit with zero dings required.

With respect to the rude TTI guy: That's bogus, and that guy should be fired or kept off the phones. While most headers may have about the same performance, the TTIs seem to fit the best, especially for B (383/400) blocks. All the rest are just made for "big blocks" and don't differentiate. Well guess what folks, there IS a difference in the blocks and that height difference will affect how the headers fit...

Yeah, I agree is was bogus. But as I said, I am not going to let one idiot make my decision on headers. I need something that fits, doesn't rust, and doesn't leak. And yes, flows a lot. I really want the TTI's and would have already purchased them if not for this phone experience. Wish I had gotten his name. It as obvious he had better things to do than talk to me on the phone.

My gut feeling is his comment was his way of saying that there is no difference in performance between their headers and any other. The part he forgot to mention was that they were able to attain that level and also make a header that fits. But that is just me filling in the blanks. Pretty sure for $900 headers I should NOT have to fill in any blanks, and should have my questions happily answered. But maybe I have lost my mind….

If you decide to go with TTI's, give Chicago Connection a call. They were the cheapest I could find when I bought mine. One reason is that they offer free drop shipping directly from TTI - nobody else does that. They are great guys to do business with also.

Hey Dennis

I am about to pull the trigger on headers, like TTI's reputation as well as all of the articles I have read. Yes, they are a chunk of $$, but I am ok paying for quality. I did just call TTI last week to talk about their product, and I got the rudest, most obnoxious, unhelpful person I have spoken to at any company in many years. I asked if he could tell me why I should go with their product rather than a Hooker Super Comp, or Doug's….his response? "Performance wise there is no difference between our 2" headers versus anyone else's." And then silence. I thought my cell had dropped the call. Nope. He was just not saying anything. I asked what he meant by his statement, and he helped me out by repeating it. Was about enough "customer service" for me. I have this unique outlook. I never beg people to take my money.

Not posting to complain about TTI, but was just curious as to why you said buy from a vendor, not direct? From what I can find, pricing is all the same. Am I missing a vendor that sells for less? Or is it that vendor customer service reps actually act like they want your money?

And yes, I understand one idiot on the phone does not necessarily represent the whole company. At least I hope it doesn't. But if it is just this one guy, his phone privileges should be revoked.

Thanks!

Got a similar "representative" from TTI. Vendors have better prices too. Can't explain why.
