I have not seen this mentioned yet but does anyone have experience with having headers custom fabbed? With Hooker 6601's over $600 plus shipping can a custom exhaust shop get close to that? The guy I bought my first 250 from had a flange he made or had made and was going to make his own headers. I forgot about that it is out in the garage somewhere.
long tube headers

Pacemaker in Australia makes some pretty ones. They are supposed to get back to me after a test fit of the 4425 and 4440 on a US Mustang. I've seen them for $225USD + ~$140 for shipping. I can let you know when I hear back.
Also, the Hooker 6601 can be gotten for ~$440 if you don't go the ceramic route.

Thanks. Yes they do make a nice long tube and 225 plus that shipping quote is actually very reasonable. I have a 250 in a bronco and they might not be able to test fit that. Could there be a lower shipping cost for multiple headers?
Maybe. I'm kind of loving that 4440 setup and intend to get one if it fits. I sent them another email today to find out how the fitment check went. Based on history, it may take a few days to get a response, but I'll ask the question when I hear from them.

After thinking about that $440 for the Hooker 6601 that is a reasonable alternative. Certainly not inexpensive but you only have to buy them once. At least we have one long tube option here in the states. What is the source you found for that price? When I looked on Summit they were over $600 I believe and to me that is just too high.

Free shipping. Says they have 2 available.

I still have some time so I'm not in a rush to purchase yet, so I'm just kind of watching.

Just heard back from pacemaker. Their install on a "proper" left hand drive vehicle was successful. They even sent some pics of the install. I'll post them when I get a chance. I got pics of the 4425 as installed and was assured the 4440 would fit with no problem. I can get a quote for a couple sets with shipping, he just needs to know how many would need crated up. Personally, i like the long tube 4440 so that's what I'm going to inquire about. I believe the 4425 is very similar to the CI header, based upon the pics I've seen.
I'll wait a few days before I respond so that folks can mull it over.
Cheers.

Here are the pics of the install of the 4425. If my eyes aren't deceived (which is possible), but this looks like a '68. So I would hazard to guess that this is a 200 it's being installed on. Anyway, enjoy!

may B it's just me.
Looks like (in all but 1 pic) the tubes run inside the frame - I think THAT precludes the '66 - '77 bronk.
I bet the ceramic like that duz nice.
Thanks bobcat ~
