1975 Trans Am headers
Does anyone make a 2" roundport headers for a 1975 Trans Am? Dougs offer a set from 70 to 74. Only a 7/8 for 75 up.

I wouldn't know why they wouldn't work in 75 and up?
If wanting pipes all the way back to rear it may be hard to do. But if open headers, should work?

Hooker does, they advertise them as 70-74 due to the round port heads. I think the PN. is 4202

As Paul said Hooker 4202. Fit my 78 and the 79 Camaro with the IA motor in it. And IA block needs a little massaging esp on #1 to clear the block and freeze plug area.. May need a dimple near the rear lower A arm bracket on the frame. Some sets near the oil filter. one set i had was real bad at the oil filter.

Why do you need 2" headers ?
To make good use of such and produce the highest average torque numbers your Exh ports would have to flow 225 cfm@ 28".

I have them on a 72 Firebird with an E-head 400 block stroker, fit great overall with no problems getting a full size pontiac oil filter in/out.... only complaint is that they do hang down lower than most other headers due to the big tubes & collectors. |

I have Hooker 4202’s on my 70 TA with Flowmaster 4-2-1 collectors. They seem to work well and they give the car a very unique sound. I don’t think Flowmaster makes them any longer. The set on my car are 2” primary. I have a NOS set of Flownaster 4-2-1 in 2 1/8” that I bought new years in my garage. I planned on using them for a previous build and never got around to it.

http://www.wallaceracing.com/header_length.php
A tid bit. Some calculators, formulas and performance recommendations use the tube's INSIDE diameter. If that's the case you would need to subtract twice the tube's wall thickness from the outer diameter. If so that header material might be 16 gauge (.062") or 18 gauge (.049"). One example here: https://www.discountmags.com/magazin...is-issue/12912 .

Dougs makes a 2" round port as well
i dont know if they make it any larger, as i thought there was another size as well i have the 1 7/8 and they are nice, especially for bolt access and everything else |

The Hookers also clear the ignition key/trans locking rods!

I have a set of the Doug's 2" headers that fit on my 1981 Firebird with a 421 motor.
