Big Block A Body TTI Headers Unboxing and Mock Up

[@griffittsgarage]

Great video Joe. The car is going to be fun with that set up! Those TTI's are nice! kevin

[@JustMoparJoe]

Thanks Kevin! I know the tubes would support the power your engine makes. Someday I want to get there! Thanks for stopping in!

[@jumpinjojo]

I had a set of of them on my 440 in my 1972 Dart. Sold them last year when I switched out to a small block.

[@maxfastest]

The best big block mopar headers Do not block access to spark plugs, And are not a major problem to install. These types of headers are very rare . If I had the ability, I'd build all of my headers from scratch .

[@JustMoparJoe]

Absolutely. Thanks for sharing. These are in car. I will video them soon.

[@Scarlet_1971_cuda]

Those headers look great. I would love for someone to do dyno tests with the oval pipes vs round. I think a complete 3 inch oval setup would give all the performance of the round and give you the ground clearance of a 2 inch setup. Total win/win.

[@JustMoparJoe]

Thanks, John! I will definitely flow more than the wimpy mufflers from before

[@TonysHotRodGarage]

Those TTIs sure are nice Joe. Good choice to run mufflers. I'll be 46 this year and I wish I'd have listened to the warnings about noise through the years. I'm nowhere near deaf, but let's just say my hearing ain't what it used to be. Mopar to the front!

[@JustMoparJoe]

Thanks, Tony! Mopar to you!

[@musclecarmitch908]

Awesome looking headers! I think they look great unpolished too!👍

[@JustMoparJoe]

I’m excited to show them off and make passes again!

[@henrypadilla13]

I used to work at TTI back in 2006 and I can tell you it was great working with those guys. Good times

[@JustMoparJoe]

Very cool!

[@318willrun]

Nice headers! I like exhaust on the cars as well

[@JustMoparJoe]

Thanks, Tim! I want to hear the announcer! 😂

[@shanew.williams]

Nice headers Joe ! 10 yrs. ago i bought new chrome TTI 2" primary,long tube headers for my '73 Dart 4 speed,440 big block project. They said "No PS, or manual trans or straight plug heads." Well,i had to prop the car up nearly on it's drivers side & R&R the passenger side T-Bar but they DID fit (without a scratch) ! Minor trimming of that passenger side inner fender near the shock mount was necessary. Your low deck B mill should be a breeze.

[@JustMoparJoe]

Thanks, Shane! Made great progress today!

[@Stormin06096]

Great video. I can't wait to buy my first set of TTI's.

[@JustMoparJoe]

Thanks brother. I have an install video coming up soon!

[@johnelliott7375]

I hope that it runs as good as I predict and as good as it looks. Good morning and great Friday to you all. Have a great weekend JMJ!

[@JustMoparJoe]

Thanks, you too!

[@koboskolors]

I just stuck those mufflers on my 360 mag ram yesterday. i know apples to oranges, but they sound great to me.

[@JustMoparJoe]

Thanks for sharing! I think they’ll do well to quiet it down and not change the sound up too much.

[@THEMOFODRIVER.]

Those headers look badass Joe! 👍

[@JustMoparJoe]

Thanks buddy! Got them squeezed in

[@MidnightOilsRestoration]

Great video as always Joe! Your new Headers are really nice! I can immediately tell that they hug the drivetrain tighter than hooker's that I have on my 66' Sport Fury (383), and they are more friendly to the plug boots too! That is one thing that's a recurring issue with headers. I have wrapped headers before (71' Charger w/440, and it helped the plugs/wires but be careful when using that material! The fibers from it are really sharp and the retired mechanic next door was helping me out with the car right after I had put the header wrap on and got a fiber in his finger that became an issue he had to have removed shortly after! So just fyi. I've never messed with wrap again but I have considered the wrap boots for the wires themselves..I may try those out soon. Cut to fit wires get old having to replace. I'll be really curious to see how loud that neat muffler is also; the local smokies have given me a hard time about the exhaust on the Fury 2x actually...written warning too loud 🙄full mufflers the only thing I can think is that because the tips are turned down in front of the rear axle they resonate off the pavement maybe...idk. I think discussing and debating the decibel laws might make for a good episode some day 🤷 just a thought lol😁take care brother, we'll be watching for the next adventure lol. By the way...I always lay fire blankets on my inner fenders and run zip ties through my headers holding them against the inner fenders and drop the engine in the way...works pretty good for me and protects the new paint.

[@JustMoparJoe]

You must have hidden cameras in my shop! I used the wire tie trick to get these installed. Video coming soon!

[@jimdrechsel3611]

Very useful video and review. Car looks great. It’s been a long time since headers but I remember the best ones allowed removal of the starter without dropping the header for clearance. Have you installed the motor yet or have you tested if you have clearance for the starter and if changing the starter would be possible without unbolting the headers? I would think you lay the headers in the engine compartment and then slowly drop the motor in place? Good luck with the mopar.

[@JustMoparJoe]

Thank you,Jim. Engine, headers, and starter are in place. I have a good video of the install coming up, and first start up!

[@jimdrechsel3611]

@@JustMoparJoe do you think the starter can be removed/exchanged without unbolting the headers? Thanks for the reply

The TTIs I ordered are due next month which by the way are the exact same set 2" into 3 1/2" collectors reduced to 3" for a 69 Dart with a 77 RB440.

[@JustMoparJoe]

Very nice! I’ve heard that with a 440, the fitment may be different. Good luck with your install. I think there were a few guys who commented about that under this video or the other one.

[@irvingsantiago6701]

@@JustMoparJoe I love the large oval exhaust look. I'm following your example with Black Widow Neighbor Haters then dump ahead of rear wheels. Your videos take the hesitation/doubts out of my decision making processes. A visual aid! Thank you!

[@timrayburn2461]

Great headers.TTI's flanges are the best.

[@JustMoparJoe]

Thanks, Tim. They are thick and awesome!

[@budlanctot3060]

I was impressed with how thick the collector flanges are.

[@FindUmOrGrindUm318]

Good luck with the install. I tried to install my TTIs on my 72 dart 440, they hit everything and the last picture you showed with it in the car is about how mine looked when I gave up and took them back out.

I just went threw hell with headers on a roadrunner. I tried summit brand and hooked nether cleared the torsion bars. Finally ordered some dougs and the fit nice...

[@JustMoparJoe]

Yes sir. 318WillRun did a nice review of he Doug’s headers a few years back. I put the Doug’s on a 72 roadrunner that had a 383 it in to it. They went in smoothly.

[@aaronshelton4824]

I was here hoping to find out what gaskets you used, to include any sealant/rtv/threadlube used on the exhaust header gasket and bolts.

[@JustMoparJoe]

@@aaronshelton4824 I used the gaskets that tti provided for the collectors. I can’t remember if I used the multi layered aluminum gaskets for the head flanges, or if it was the included ones from tti. Anti seize on the header bolts in to the heads.

[@Alexander-nb1rz]

So you can't use those headers with straight plugs and are not angled? Plan to take out the steering box with the pitman arm drag link and end links and use a rack+pinion

[@JustMoparJoe]

I’m going to use them with straight plugs in the truck. It helps the inside tubes with clearance.

[@kellyhumes1217]

You can’t go wrong with TTI headers! They are the best for Mopars. I bought a set for my 1971 Satellite Sebring Plus.

[@davesaylor5135]

Joe what do you recommend 71 340 crank is bad what crank and rods do you recommend street and occasional race car is a 4 speed

[@JustMoparJoe]

If you can swing it, I would go with the scat stroker crank. They’re available in prebalanced kits that would help with lots of good torque to move your mopar.

[@jlsracing997]

Those headers look great with just the coating and they were cheaper that way too. Added bonus. You might think about simple foam earplugs when your'e driving or working around the car running. You would get a little more hp and protect your ears too. This is coming from a motorcycle rider and racer. I don't go anywhere without them.

[@JustMoparJoe]

Thanks brother. I always wear plugs all day long at the track. My new helmet has Bluetooth and is much tighter on my head. It cancels noise and will definitely up my game.

You and me both! I will get her sanded and shot after the engine is lined out. Sadly, it’ll probably be when it’s hot out 😅

[@mikestackhouse9001]

Looking sweet Joe! Just the right size and configuration to let that 408 breath and like you said, you only get one set of ears so protect them early. I wear double hearing aids because of loud rock and bluegrass concerts, guns on the range and construction sites without wearing protection. Ad some drag racing and track conditions and your ears just can't take it. Hungry for a video when you get that angry V8 stuffed in the Barricuda.

[@JustMoparJoe]

Thanks Mike! It will be a great comparison to see how this short stroke big block compares to the long stroke of the old engine.

[@terryboothe2309]

The headers look good . Gonna be a nice car and I bet those big pipes will have a good throaty sound . I understand about hearing loss .

[@thomasward4505]

Here's a little advice for you, I had trouble with my 505 which would run out of fuel pressure, I changed the tank, pump and the lines and the filter, same problem. The problem was the holley fuel pressure regulater,which has a very small area,.220 opening inside. So hopefully you have a bypass Style or Holly makes a bigger deadheaded regulator which took care of the problem. What threw me off was the 440 I had before had no problems with the same carburetor also!

[@JustMoparJoe]

Thank you, Thomas. I will definitely keep that in mind.

[@jimbo3214]

I HEAR you on the mufflers. Good choice.

[@mikestackhouse9001]

Oh, and those angled oval pipes remind me of the megaphone side pipes on the 340 AAR Cuda. I know they weren't oval but you get the same cross sectional area, maybe more.

[@JustMoparJoe]

Thanks, Mike!

[@budlanctot3060]

You do know the "megaphone" tips on the AAR's & T/A's were fake in that the actual exhaust carrying pipe was flattened into a semi-circular cross-sectioned pipe inside the "megaphone". So half of the megaphone was just dead air.
