Dougs headers - joy to fit!
Posted: Mon Jul 29, 19 9:02 pm
My Challenger has sounded like a tractor for too long, pictures show you why, very blown gaskets, and see through tubes which actually were like external colourtunes at night with the bonnet up. not sure what brand the old ones were but they had been on the car in 1993 when i got it, so quite tired now.
They were an absolute pleasure to fit. No need to split the steering linkage, no starter fouling (its got a mini starter), just need to take the oil filter off for the pass side.
The pass side has a weird separate rear tube that is just a push fit, and you have to cut the flange to fit it on (its slotted to show where to cut, but it goes on fine and the headres came with new bolts too, and decent gaskets.
All in all I was very pleasantly surprised that they took little time and no cutting or bashing to fit. I had to re-flange my exhaust system but the headers came with a pair of weld on bell mouths too so that was an easy weld job.
First time I have fitted headers from new, have heard lots of good about TTI but I would genuinely recommend these Dougs headers. I can only comment on small block into E body but I'm well pleased, can you tell??
Got a set of new Dougs headers via the forum and finally got round to fitting them. They were an absolute pleasure to fit. No need to split the steering linkage, no starter fouling (its got a mini starter), just need to take the oil filter off for the pass side.
