"Hooker Super Comps" What's up with the fit

[Hemi Rebel]

Yeah TTI is way out there on price.. But some of the others said, hammering is kinda a n necessary evil. I also ran into a problem with installing my headers on 452 heads. The heads I used had a casting lip at the top of the exhaust ports. Not sure if they all had this casting lip, but mine did. So after: raising the front end 2-3 feet in the air, unhooking the steering link and torsion bars. I bolted the headers up to the heads to discover that header flange was too wide and hit the lip on the heads. So I had to take them back out and grid the flanges down to make them fit. Along with dinging both headers at the sides to clear the torsion bars. But it was worth it to know I saved $500+ on the Hooker Super comps compared to the TTI's.

Now I have flow tech's on my 72 charger and they are resting on the ps gear box, so when I get around to it, they with be dinged up to fit as well.

The things we do for MOPOWER!!!

I had the same issue with 452 heads and a set of 99 dollar black jack headers. I too ground down the flange, and had to heat up and bend the drivers side collector to point to the right place at the trans crossmember/ rear torsion bar crossmember. Once i got that done, those 99 dollar joints were the best headers i ever had. I have a set of tti headers that i bought about 10 years ago. I have yet to use them. Sometime this spring when the motor is going back in my super bee i will be using them. I will let you all know how it goes

We have been speaking of several brands and tube sizes in this thread, what are yours????

They are hooker super comps, 1 7/8". Other than one touching the tranny and the other dumping out into the crossmember they fit fine.

I am assuming they are installed on the Charger in your pictures??
