Take a look at Hooker ceramic coated headers.:) I've got them on my 72 and they are great. I got them from summitracing.com.

Are you thinking on Hooker's nest-of-snakes style header/sidepipe combo?

acctually im lookin for the full length headers that connect to the sidepipes and the side pipes!! Not sure if thats the nest of snakes you were talkin about?I just missed a set on ebay that sold for 400!!!!
Thanx for the heads up though, I see summit has them ceramic coated 800 for the headers and 600 for pipes!! ouch

Thanks PG
I really had fun helping to put her together and pick out everything I wanted to try on her. Topped the headers off with a complete stainless steel exhaust system including mufflers. Just had the wheels aligned yesterday and she is ready for the spring/summer, if it ever gets here. Michigan weather is not cooperating this year. Teases us with 60 degree weather then jumps back to high 20"s with snow. Getting anxious to get her out after her complete restoration.
