Does anyone out there make a good set of good fitting stainless steel headers for a 1972 Cutlass 442 with the 455 engine? I have a set one mine now that came from Jet Hot and the darn things are peeling. If I take them off to send back to Jet Hot. I want to put something on there that will hold up. I'm thinking ahead since I most likely won't get to it for a couple more years.

Thanks for any info about where to get a set,

Very pricey:

I would be skeptical of any headers that claim to fit both SBO and BBO, since we all know that is not true. FYI, the ebay reviews of these Chinesium headers do say that they fit BBOs, not SBOs. Apparently they need the same massaging and brake line rerouting as do all other Olds headers.

Looks like the Dick Miller Racing and the American Racing Headers are one in the same from the pics. And the same price too. Nice headers but a bit pricey!

ive have the ebay headers om my 72 convertible for a couple years and so far im happy with them, they do hang low i can see where they might fit a 455 with little better ground clearance.had to go with a mini starter though because the factory starter was a shoe horn fit.i have the thornton w/z cast iron on my 76 455 and love them! bolt and go.(i wasn't looking for all out performance here).and now just recently put the thornton stainless shorties on the 80 cutlass and very happy with the look and fit. if i didnt have to be budget conscience i would have gone are for arh on the 80.
