I just lost my header virginity to a pair of Hookers. I have a 67 Convertible Firebird and I just finished the install of my first pair of headers and it came out great. The headers are a set of Hooker Super Competition ceramic coated part #4107-1 and a Flowmaster exhaust system part #17104. The headers were a little tough to get the bolts started but once I did it want easy. They fit like a glove. Nothing hits, the oil filter comes off with no problems and the starter has plenty of room. They are a little close to the steering box but it shouldn't be a problem. The only problem I had was the spring that attaches to the clutch throwout fork. Where the spring attaches to the frame the header was in the way so I made up a new catch for it and mounted it to the back of the starter. Problem solved. The exhaust system required some cutting down but that was no big deal either. This system uses a crossflow muffler that tucks up in the wheel well like factory so ground clearence is not reduced. It states that it will not work on convertibles but that is because to the floor X brace. I will shim it down later. It looks like the front has to drop about 1 1/2 inches and the back should be fine where it is. The only thing I'm not to sure of is the way the tail pipes sit. It would have been nice if they were chrome. I'm not sure what I'm going to do with them yet.
