this is why TTi headers suck for power

The hedmans in the video are 1 7/8 and have a fixed collector with a flange, IIRC.

I have two sets of Hookers and the Race Super Comps have an adjustable collector. The 1 3/4 set I have (5204's) are fixed collector. I have a set of 1 7/8 Hooker Race SC's coming and I'll know when they get here.

The problem with the tti's is length, too long, not tube diameter. For fit, sans z-bar and I won't go into the rant here, tti's may be fine for street use. For a decent strip car, they won't be anywhere close to my stuff, that's for sure.

As we all know, race motors need race components. At Fall Fling, I bought a set of TTIs but have yet to install them on the Barracuda (probably because the motor isn't finished yet). I also bought a set of their W5 flanges for the W5/416 motor for two reasons: 1), because it's going into a '35 Ply coupe and of course, they do not have anything for that application and 2) the headers not only have to be custom-built for the '35 but also for what the motor needs. Even if there were someone making off the shelf headers for a small block Mopar in an early Ply coupe, I wouldn't buy them because they do not fit the needs of that particular motor.
