TTi header fitment

[440plus6]

I am considering 2" TTi headers for my stroker build in my 69 Charger RT. Anyone have any experience with fitment? Mine is a 4-speed car, 11" flywheel, Tremec 5 speed. I see other threads speaking to alignment of the headers, but I'm primarily concerned about shoehorning it in there, and starter issues.

Appreciate your input

I have TTI 1 7/8" on all my cars. They all fit fine and can be installed fairly easily by turning the steering one way or the other. The starter deal is not quite so nice. Header needs to be unbolted, but not removed to get a starter out.

can't speak for gen 2 Charger but my gen 3 has 1 7/8 TTI's and they fit perfect.

TTi screwed me back in 2017 using 1 7/8 tubes. Passenger side was hitting my idler arm and heard of others who have hit the idler arm also. Called them and wasn’t expecting to be rude to. Was told I was probably running the wrong idler arm and all kinds of BS. They told me they’d bend me another passenger side but I’d have to eat the cost of all shipping from one end to the United States to the other. Forget about changing a starter out with them on.

with any header it's best to go with a mini starter. The 90's Dakota starter is cheap and works a world better than the original monster starters. In addition to that they make a terminal relocation kit that moves the connections from the top of the starter to the back making wiring a snap.

If you're not willing to do a little bit of modification to your car to make aftermarket parts fit then maybe hot rodding isn't the hobby for you

You can’t be serious can you? Do you think you’re talking to a child?

No, I don't. But saying that changing the starter is difficult with ANY set of headers is beyond obvious. TTI's are probably the best fitting headers for a B body I've ever used and given their reputation I think most would agree.

You still have to drop the header to get the mini-starter out duh!!! What the hell you talking about a little bit of modification I’m running a T-56 Magnum and all sorts of mods lol lol. I’ve also read 2” Doug’s fitting good. TTi has people bending their pipes and I told him don’t you think people screw up too? The horrible customer service left a bad taste in my mouth but yes for the most part TTi fit most of the time.

Don't forget to replace the engine mounts along with the transmission mount and all should fit fine.
I learned my lesson with the first set of TTI. 27 sets later all is well. Good idea with all headers.
