    I'm going to ditch the 6901's on my car when I re-do the exhaust this year, and I am looking into shorties. I saw the Hedman 88400's, but I recall the DT's being a bit larger 1 5/8's maybe?

    I can't seem to find the things anywhere though, are they still available?

    They used to be more! It's not a bad price at all. Considering these were made for a maverick. So it's like getting custom made headers for a bargain price.

    Hi Po manifolds wont fit a maverick, but to the right collector they can be worth a lot of money(edit: nevermind you said they're new. So it's probabl just a repro set).

    A friend of mine has hi-po crossover headers on his mav, the steering hits a bit, but they work.

    Considering the headaches I've had over the years with Hooker and Headman Headers I was planning on running Doug's on my car. It would be worth it to avoid cracking, poor fit and leaks from the crappy flanges both use.

    I have them, to me they were worth every penny.
