Headers

Hello. I have a 69' 455 in my 70' cutlass s. Im going to put headers on instead of manifolds. Where and what kind should I buy? Im restoring the car and will just drive it occasionally, no racing. Thanks for your input.

The Hooker headers will fit the best,but are higher priced.The Flowtechs fit pretty good,and you can get them coated for a reasonable cost,cheaper than uncoated Hookers.

Same ones as these

But $25 cheaper at Summit.

I used the Flowtechs years ago with good success.
