Yes I would have put TTI headers in my 64 Signet had I built my Signet in 2008 but I didn't and now I've had same pair of Hooker Fenderwell headers since I built my Signet in 1989. Ya work with what you've got and using simple common sense gives you cause of action. Yes my pipes are also low but the gas shocks seem to do their job and there's always the adjustments on the torsion bars
