Headers for 73 Duster with 451

I used the TTI 1 3/4 inch headers with the 512 in my '72 Duster. I think 1 3/4 is big enough for a street car with mufflers. Guess it just depends on your pain vs. reward calculation. You should be able to run 10's with the 1 3/4 headers but if you think you'll be going faster than that then step up to the larger headers. I tried the larger step headers and they were just so big I sold them and went with the 1 3/4 tubes. I can at least work on the car with the smaller tubes. With the big tube headers it was hard to access things.

I had a set of 2" and sold them.... The 1 3/4" is what I have and am getting ready to put a presidential solution on them and use Power steering with them. Why TTI has never addressed a fitment issue with PS is beyond. After seeing a set of 2" on an A Body it's just not something I want to deal with. No room at all.....

BTW I am diggin' the radiator setup you have now and am awaiting your results on cooling....
