Headers

I have a 68 Barracuda M/T with TTIs and NO scattershield. It looks like I could put one in there and still take the headers down as necessary. But as Rumble says....it might be tuff. However, uncoated TTIs last for at least 5 summers and 4 winters, before rust perforates at the merge on the driver side where the salty snow/water collects, and another year or two before the other side needs work.And the gaskets, at least mine have survived 16 years and multiple engine-swaps. (I used to run a teener in the winter).
So my question is, why do you wish to pull them off,from time to time?
Trying to get old ceramic coated one's off, All dented. Just bought the car and am looking at either a new set or going back to factory manifolds
