Headers were hand made for this car from a guy here in Phx. Az. He made a jig so he can make more. I paid $850 for them. Might be a little high but Clarks doesn't carry headers anymore and these are stainless steel.

$850 for those headers in stainless is a hell of a good price!!

Glad to see another V8 enthusiast in Phoenix metro area. Wish you were closer though. Glendale is still about 30+ miles I think.

That looks like Sche 40 food grade stainless..if you paid $850 for them - that is a smokin deal. I paid $200 for 5 2.5" 90's and 2 to 2.5" transitions.

Well done sir!
