Anyone know how far these headers hang down ? I am running a Mopar 6 into 1, but I have a new set of Super Comps I thought I might try out if they dont hang as far down as the MP header. THat MP header runs good but the collector is down quite a bit, I would like to lower the car some so I need to do something.

Side shot pics of the bottom would be nice if you have them. Or if you have run the two types a good compairison would work. I expect th epower might be better with the SC headers over the 6 into 1, but that probably depends on the engine build itself also.

I started to sale them but my son is wanting me to run them, I hate to if they are going to crash every speed bumb I hit. I should have done some measurement of the 6 into 1 before I put it on so I would have a reference to fitment. If I pull them I will check both sets four height measurements, but I hate to pull the header to find out they are worse than what I am running.

I also (had) run the Mopar 6 to 1 header but gave up on it as a streetable
header and am also curious how the Super Comps compare.The Mopar header would seem to be (theoreticaly) much torqier at the bottom RPM with the Super Comps a LOT more top end oriented.The MP6 to 1 collector diameter is 3 inch single ; the Hooker 5 inch total area(2 1/2 x 2) which alone
means more top-end potential even if joined & reduced by a 2 x 2.5 into 3 inch y-pipe.
My project is a 225 in a '80 2-dr Volare w/4bbl Clifford int man/390 Holley,
auto trans for now but I have the parts to do a 833-4spdOD swap as well as a
8 3/4 set up for FMJ Iso-clamp leaves.I also have the Super Six 2 1/4 exhaust which actually runs pretty strong but headers can yield so much more if the system is well matched.

I ran an MP on my Duster for a couple years. Only time I ever bottomed it was when I was missing a bumper off the driver's side lower A-arm. I ran my front a little lower than stock height.

I have a set of Super Comps too. I have not had them in a car, but have seen them in many cars. IIRC, they do not hang quite as low as the MP header.

I put these headers on my 1978 Volare.They hit the brake booster so I had to modify the rear tuce.I cut it and shortend it a 1/2 in. and moved it a little forwards.I don't think it'll hurt thr performance.They slightly touched the deep transmission pan so I bent them a little bit for clearence.These were supposed to be a bolt on for my car but as with everything else it took a little modifing.I wouldn't reccomend buying a set already jet coated because you'll more then likely have to do some modification.They hang down a little but I can't forsee any problems unless you're not paying attention.I posted a few photos on
flicker.com/photos/emptypockets/
Hope this helps you out

Thanks for posting, the link doesnt take you to pics, it goes to the front page of the site. I did a search for emptypockets and emptypockett but nothing came up.


I am not sure how they fit a Volare will relate to putting them on a 68 Cuda. The collector exits would probably be the same, but the engine bay will be diff. I dont have power brakes, so it sounds like thats a plus for me.

If you get the link to your pics figured out I would like to see them though, any under car shots would really be good.


Whats your thought on the power curve they gave when installing ?

What other engine mods are you running with them ?

Did you tie them into one pipe with a Y-pipe going back or run true duels ?



I know my Mopar performance 6 into 1 header hangs really low on my Cuda, but it doesnt hit the tranny in any way becuase it comes out right through the crossmember exhaust cutout.

Sorry about that, go to
www.flickr.com/photos/emptypockets.
That should get you there.If not search slant six.The photos will explain some of the motor items.
