I've never seen or heard of these before. They're for a 1970 Demon, which makes me think they won't work for a 1964 Valiant, but I'm curious about them. Maybe they'll be useful to someone else. Check them out here. |

WOW! That is a weird set of headers. They are located about 1/2 way between where I live and my shop. |

Demons had slants? wow, I did not know that! I thought they were all V8 cars. Interesting set of headers too. |

Those look nice. I think I will bid on them... Might fit a mid 60's A-body, but hard to say. Lou |

The Demon was available with the whole range of engines available in other A-bodies, from the 198 slant-6 on up through the 340. |

DTH makes some pretty nice stuff. Their headers are pretty much the only game in town for some of the more obscure newer cars. I will probably use the DTH dual outlet on my Smart Car after the Warranty goes away. It's a $450 bill from the cat back. All of what, eight inches? The dual outlet is as quiet as stock. The single sounds like a civic fart can. Not my cup o' tea. It takes 23# off the exhaust though, and adds six hp up top. Fairly useless, but every ounce helps in the quest for better economy... Yeah, right! Hope you get them Lou! CJ |

Yep... Dodge got jealous of the Duster, and had to get a body and slap the Dart beak on it... two years later the Religious community wrote enough letters into Mopar, that they had to drop the name and in the 1973 Model year it became the Dart 'Sport'....I've seen a few of these around with slant sixes... still have yet to see a 'Sizzler' though... the sister car to the 'Twister'... -D.Idiot |

Yeah, that's why I'm gonna pass. I'd rather know for sure. Plus, I'm still thinking Dutra for my needs.

Somebody just bid 5 times to find my max price on these - funny. Lou |

I have a feeling these are gonna get outside my price range pretty quickly. I was the first bidder, and my bid held for about two hours. I'm guessing $500 for the winning bid...anyone else care to venture a guess? |

I don't think they'll go more than 475, personally. There's not a lot of info on these, so that limits their known compatibility to most late A bodies MAYBE. Plus, not to speak for other sixers, but a lot of us are bargain hunters. |

Lou No, it's not me. I don't even have an E-bag account. |

They are about 10 miles from me if that helps anybody in shipping/pickup; let me know. (they won't work on anything I have currently, so I won't be bidding against you!) |
