Header fitment rant, Doug's

Dennis Hilliard said

I posted about my problems with Dougs a few months ago. I put TFS heads on and then installed Dougs at the time, mine fit like crap, hit everywhere, raised the motor 1/2" beat them, you name it. These f ing harders are way over blown how good they are. You should not have to beat up a 600.00 header, Never would I recommend these headers. Just buy the cheap ones, it won't hurt so bad when you have to dent them. Dougs need to get there crap together.

You should try spending even more money on TTI's and having the same experience, they're not any better.

Like I said at the beginning of this whole mess, these cars have 1/4" production tolerances, and in many cases the clearance to the headers is 1/8" or less. Think about that for a second. One size does not fit all. It's not on TTI or Doug's, they're trying to hit a moving target. Add into the mix the fact that we all use different aftermarket parts and you just get what you get. TTI's fit some cars better than others. Doug's fit some cars better than others. Only way to know which one will fit YOUR car best is to buy a set and try it. The Doug's on my Duster fit great! The TTI shorties I bought to replace them to gain a little more ground clearance didn't fit as well as the Doug's did, even though the shorties should have been an easier fit. Just the way it goes.
