Hooker fenderwell headers P/N 9814 are basically the same a little longer tubes though. they do have 1 5/8" primaries with a 3in collector. I've been using them for well over 25 years But I dont believe that hookers will clear shock hoops. If those headers were cheaper I consider them as my next set they look nice and I like the outside the frame headers.

can you still run skid plates? i have balie built skid plates full length which takes the place of the rockers. thanks ray

Not sure is you had the spin techs before but you will like them... they are wicked for sure I really like mine. they produce a pretty unique sound that sounds awesome

I'd love to give these a try, but I'm running a 302 right now.

Need someone to test fit them on a 302?

Not sure, Can you tell from the pics?? I am not sure how the skid plates mount. I can have some more pics taken if need be.

Were you running the spin techs at sob 2 years ago??? I remember really liking the sound of your exhaust.

Yeah I was and still am running a 2 into 1 Spin Tech. Back then I was running JD long tubes but now have switched to the BC headers.
First pic was my set up with the long tubes and the second and third are with the BC set up

I am also interested in a set for my 351w. My 408 Stroker isn't installed yet, so i can't be the test dummy and get the good guy discount. bummer ;(

Thanks for the updates,

They look great! Auburn is only like 15-20mins from me too! To bad I dont have a 351!

I am really curious how it was determined the other headers were causing too much back pressure? If that were even remotely the case, the headers would have been glowing red all the time. Not to mention making the engine so hot it wouldnt run for crap. If you were currently using the motor regularly and already dyno'ed it, there is no way the headers had anything to do with causing too much back pressure. Now gasket surface not being flat and previous exhaust system not properly mounted will blow the gaskets all day long.

BTW, I have some ocean front property in Arizona, if someone is interested.

Those are some realllly nice lookin headers!

????? Why do guys have to get on this site and preach there crap all day long with no information. As the mater of fact my headers where overheating. I burnt 2000 degree coating off of them twice in less than 500 miles. This bronco is not driven regularly. And yes the engine was running excessively hot. I also paid to have all header surfaces profesionally machined to ensure they were perfectly flat. So I guess you are right on a few points. As for your ocean front property maybe you can post that for sale on another site.

I think some of you guys are hanghing out on pirate4x4 alittle too much! I'm not sure why theres additude about your trying to sell a rather nice set of headers that for some with the right rig, will most likely work as advertised... If I had that much of a body lift and didn't mind cutting that much metal, I'd be in line to get a set... They seem pretty good to me and the price is pretty good for a 'custom' made header.

 

[mountainview68]

Keep in mind these are NOT my headers. The guy who built them for me is interested in marketing them and asked me to post here. I am benefiting from this in NO WAY AT ALL. As the matter of fact I had to pay for all the R and D for the next guy.

I got your PM. I have had them on for a while now and LOVE them. no leaks, sweat sound very much worth it. I know that he has a set built right now i think that they just need coated. I will see if I can come up with some pictures and maybe a video clip this weekend.

 

[Desert Thrasher]

Can you take some more pics? Id like a better lighted view of them exiting the fenderwell and maybe from the engine bay view. Thanks.

 

[mountainview68]

OK here are a few more pictures of the headers and exhaust as requested. Also is a link to some videos on you tube. I wish the sound quality was a little better. It sounds so much better when you are there.
