I think Doug's Headers are the best. They bolt on, don't leak, provide superior ground clearance, improve your performance, and look good. www.dougsheaders.com
You can purchase Doug's Headers from Ace at Pacific Performance Racing, 310-832-4596 or at Performance Years. Both companies will have them in stock for immediate shipment. I have had my Doug's Headers on my '65 GTO for over two years now and I love them.

I can tell you for certain that he has Doug's Headers in stock. I was there today and will be there tomorrow to observe a friend of mines motor on the dyno. Give him a call tomorrow morning after 10:00 AM and check the pricing. You might just be suprised.

Dougs are the ONLY way to go. They are way easier to bolt on than any other header that I have ever tried. I couldn't believe how great they fit. If not go with any other brand. From my experience they all fit about the same. They are kind of a hassle to install but functional.

Word of advice if you decide on Hooker Super Comps. They look great, fit well etc, but put studs in not bolts. they are PITA to install with bolts. I had to get the 10 year old kid from next door to start two of the bolts

ok, i bought a set of the cheapie summit headers, and i had a royal pain in the ass getting the bolt in on the passenger side right behind the no.6 cyl. are all pontiac headers this hard on this particular bolt? i ended up getting a bolt with a 3/8 head instead of 7/16.

NO! Doug's Headers fit great and are easy to install.

i bought some Hooker supercomps and hated them, need to fine tune it with a big ass hammer, the passenger side hung down lower than the drivers side, and low enough to scrape stuff and eventually ruin them...i put stock one back on now as i am saving up for some dougs.

Hooker Supercomps were are real PITA on my 66 GTO. Next time it is Dougs for me. After all, how much is Blood, Busted knuckles and 8 hours of cussing worth?-JimT
