    Headers - mufflers - want to add glass packs

    I like the sound and look of your car, but read posts #10,11, 12. Me, I'd just swap the mufflers alone.

    Headers - mufflers - want to add glass packs

    "Adding" glasspacks ? Replacing the existing mufflers, or adding onto to existing system ? You're looking for "quiet" with headers and glasspacks ?

    Get rid of the headers, right?

    A few of you guys were discussing the "age factor" in the topic. Which may be true in some cases. My take on this, as with many issues, is the "experience factor". Over the many years, it seems people with no/little/limited experience wrenching... people who lack skills... people who frankly...

    Only used reproduction factory style exhaust, but give them a call, very courteous and helpful.

    Headers—looking for fit & ease of installation

    Yeah, done it a number of times, as with the Hooker comps on my current 70 RR. I know what you mean about memory, I'd done many over the past 55 years. I only remember the bitch jobs, and this ain't one of them.

    Headers—looking for fit & ease of installation

    Have you ever done headers before ? What is your skill level ? You're asking very rudimentary questions.

    Headers—looking for fit & ease of installation

    Don't have to remove engine mounts.

    Headers—looking for fit & ease of installation

    I've installed Hooker 5903's a number of times over the past half-century. Including one of my cars presently. Nothing rarely "drops in" but if you possess a modicum of skill, it's one of the easiest installs to do.

    Get rid of the headers, right?

    I'm a billion years old, and I'll put headers in a build if I were doing it tomorrow.

    Headers—looking for fit & ease of installation

    Mopar or otherwise, the most problematic installs were due to other issues. Mounts being one of them. Back in the garage, we'd recommend new mounts during the install, since they'd be disconnected anyway, and it was a GREAT upsell. But in effect, it made our job easier.

    Headers—looking for fit & ease of installation

    I've done many header installs. Hooker comps 50+ years ago, same on one of my current rides today. One of the easier installs to do.

    Not needed. Why do you have 3 sets ? I've got studs on all except inside #1 and inside #2. Been doing it that way on this particular application since the early 70's.

    In a tight spot

    Actually... yes ! . I'd encountered that same exact problem 50 years ago. And discovered that, to do that specific job, you use an open end wrench on the inside bolt ( can't use a stud ) on the #1 cyl with Hooker headers. When you gain experience, the job is .... EASY.

    TTI ??? I want to order exhaust for my roadrunner 440 w factory manifolds

    I started installing headers a half-century ago, or longer. Different cars, different brands. So, when I did my restoration on this one car a dozen years ago, I used one of my tried-and-true's. I don't recall what mini-starter is in the car.

    TTI ??? I want to order exhaust for my roadrunner 440 w factory manifolds

    A mini-starter can be removed/installed easily with Hooker Comp headers.

    TTI ??? I want to order exhaust for my roadrunner 440 w factory manifolds

    Having personal experience with Accurate Exhaust, I highly recommend their consideration. Very highly recommend. You will not be disappointed.
