[@jonathanlawson4667]

I used hooker on my 91 Camaro and I couldn't be anymore happier with them they fit perfectly and sound great

[@TonyTheTechnician]

Great to hear. Glad you enjoy them 👍👍👍

Which model hooker?

Hi Tony, I am Kevin, Dyno Don's son. I just wanted to say thank you for the kind words regarding his headers. Yes he will be retiring for sure sometime this year in 2019.

[@TonyTheTechnician]

Kevin91Z28 thank you I’m really glad you enjoyed and I absolutely love them. Sad to hear he is retiring but at the same time that’s great. Time for him to relax. Please thank him for me 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

[@Kevin91Z28]

I posted your videos to our Facebook page, thank you! facebook.com/socaltpi/

@@Kevin91Z28 Hello will you be taking over the header business from your dad that would be really cool??? I'm sure he would be proud of that :) Thanks

[@Kevin91Z28]

Hi Douglas. No I have my own job so I will not be taking over for him.

@@TonyTheTechnician is Dyno Don still making these headers for the 3rd gen foodies? IF so how much additional would the accompanying y pipe would be ?

[@77cuti]

Just ordered mine, can't wait

[@TonyTheTechnician]

Very nice 👌

[@TheMrkaninja]

He hasn't retired yet? I thought I saw a post from his son in the last year or two than he was retiring and that nobody would be taking over the header fabrication?

[@TonyTheTechnician]

@@TheMrkaninja well from what I've heard he is retired but still doing them in his free time

[@TheMrkaninja]

@@TonyTheTechnician Good to know. I picked up an '82 Trans Am with a 350 swap out of an '87. Engine has been rebuilt and run in with stock manifolds, now looking for some ceramic coated headers that aren't cheap Chinese junk.

[@77cuti]

I ordered from that tds company and it said mid November, if not they sure took my deposit.

[@briank3323]

I also have a set and they fit amazing

[@TonyTheTechnician]

Very nice!!

[@chrisnorman5659]

mines. Douges Headers. with cutouts straight pipes and glass packs. Sounds Crazy!

[@TonyTheTechnician]

Chris Norman very nice. I’ll be running summit x pipe with pypes m80 and turndowns

[@Shane_Lowry]

Those are beautiful!! Can’t wait to hear them

[@TonyTheTechnician]

Shane thank you and ya me too!!

[@slowformula]

Those are pretty much a copy of the 1 3/4" SLP stainless headers (not made for several years now). I have a set of SLP and a set of Dyno Dons on different thirdgens and they do fit nice. Definitely a good header for thirdgens if you do not want to drag long tubes.

[@TonyTheTechnician]

slowformula yes indeed. Thanks for mentioning that. I read that a lot in forums before purchasing them

[@w41duvernay]

Sir, I was hoping you could should how to bolt on the brackets from the headers on the pwr steering and a/c on the headers, and bolt up everything from there on a 3rd gen car.

[@peterdarr383]

You get creative and use longer bolts/studs and make sleeves from small diameter pipe maybe from an old 10 speed frame cut to proper length.

[@jimmore4155]

What is the link to order?

[@TonyTheTechnician]

If I remember correctly Don retired from making the headers and they are no longer available. But here is where I ordered them. www.top-downsolutions.com/index.php?route=product/manufacturer/info&manufacturer_id=34

[@jimmore4155]

@TonyTheTechnician I seen that sight but not sure how to order as they show limited items...how did you order?

[@jimmore4155]

@TonyTheTechnician and if no longer available what would you suggest as an alternative. I'm currently running eldebrock long tubes and my exhaust hangs to low and I always hit frigging speed bumps.

[@amberrivers81]

nice

[@TonyTheTechnician]

Amber & John Homestead Projects thanks

[@xandersmith9832]

That's a good looking set of headers Tony.

[@TonyTheTechnician]

Xander Smith thank you!!

[@DOYLECLEVERLOBE1]

Oooh shiny! Weird though there's one comment I can read but is says 2 even after I refreshed the page, KZbin keeping up the inconsistency.

[@TonyTheTechnician]

DOYLECLEVERLOBE1 ya it’s been messing up lately. I’ve been noticing a lot of mistakes.

[@scottpearsontoolsmore185]

Great video thanks brother. Looks like they have all the cylinders tubes the same length. I can see you shouldn't have issues with the bolts staying tight. The flat surface should help with that. Really like the headers well built. Keep up the great work see you in the next video thanks again brother

[@TonyTheTechnician]

Scott Pearson TOOLS &MORE thank you and ya hopefully everything stays nice and tight and seals well. Thank you they are very well built. See you next time. Thanks for watching

[@imcrazyforwar]

do they get in the way of the spark plugs when u need to change them like some of the other ones?

[@TonyTheTechnician]

A couple are close but most are clear

[@imcrazyforwar]

@@TonyTheTechnician it sounds like it may worth the extra money. I been looking at a few that making tune ups a pain and some that people have bang to make them fit. I been looking for something actually fits with no issues

[@TonyTheTechnician]

@@imcrazyforwar fitment wasn't bad at all. I would say maybe 2 of the plugs were close but still get access. The only thing that was a pain was a couple of the bolts for the headers being close to the primaries and you have to use a wrench to tighten them down.

[@imcrazyforwar]

@@TonyTheTechnician I have a socket driver that u twist at it's base to turn it. Think it would fit in there? How do they sound?

[@TonyTheTechnician]

Ya that might work well. They sound very good. Probably the best short headers you can get for a third gen camaro

[@1980sSinaloense]

Is there any other shorty headers you’d recommend that are on the cheaper side ? Im gonna start building a 350 & well these dyno don headers are talked about everywhere i search but they are expensive & out of the question for me :/... lmk with any cheaper recommendations id appreciate it i have a 92 Camaro btw

[@TonyTheTechnician]

They have so many brands available. I've only used one other brand on my camaro and it was a Summit brand like 10 years ago. But they have alot to offer. Check out all the brands Summit has to offer. I wouldn't use an ebay brand.

[@heg1ll]

I'm interested in the Dyno Don headers but I can't seem to find any contact information for the manufacturer and I don't want to have to send a note to Top Down Solutions which is then forwarded to Dyno Don. How can I contact him directly? Also since you have these what is the height and width of the ports? I need to exhaust ports to be about 1.5 inches high x 1.5 inches wide in order to clear the ports on my aftermarket vortec style heads. I can't seem to find this information anywhere either. If you could add this information to your video or post here that would be great.

[@wishkeredcocarach9368]

He retired

[@Kevin91Z28]

You can contact him thru Top Down Solutions, or as Dyno Don on thirdgen.org

[@lilmacu23]

Will tis bolt up to a 350 vortec

[@TonyTheTechnician]

Yes I believe I have seen a few forums of others using Dyno Don headers with vortec heads. But of course it's best to message Dyno Don and tell him exactly what it's for and he will let you know

[@lilmacu23]

Ok thanks
