Angry *****cracked Headers*****help*****
Does anyone know where I can find a set of headers for an 85 T-Type. My mechanic says that mine are cracked. It seems as if the car is missing and when I give it full throttle the car is SLOW!!! I would take a used set if anyone has any. Where is the cheapest place to buy a set new??? Any help would greatly be appreciated. Thank you, Cristy...

buy a set off of Poston's

1-800-635-9781

$498.00

can't go wrong there...they are great quality and they will replace them free if they ever crack again...i got a driver side header for my 87 and it's very nice and flows very well...i noticed near instant spoolup and great idle

I was kind of looking for something a little cheaper. I called hooker and they had a set for $319. Does anyone have any factory headers for sale or a set of used aftermarket headers for sale. Thanks.

headers are a thing where you shouldnt go cheap on...get good ones the first time and be done with them forever...and people don't seem to like hookers...

Avoid the Hooker Headers.....


I put a set of Poston Headers on my car and was very happy with the fit, look, as well as performance.

All of the 84/85 Hot-Air Cars Crack the headers...it must be design related.

I recently cracked my passenger side Poston header, and sent it back to them. They sent me a brand new header no questions asked...can customer service get much better then that?

The reason I want something kind of cheap is because I am selling the car this weekend.
