Default HEADER INSTALL

Does anyone know where I can get my Hooker Headers installed for my '77?
I live in Woodstock, Georgia, just North of Atlanta.

I thought Midas would in Gainesville, but they said , "they don't install headers anymore".

Thanks
Larry

why dont you do it your self,not hard.the worst part is getting off the old ones.then you need to get the car as high as you can ,mabey 24inches.put on the new headers and then drive to mides and have them do the pipes.did mine that way and it onley took mabey four hours,then had them make me 2.5inch pipes all welded and mandrel bent ,no clamps to get caught on anything.couple of hundered bucks

I agree, you would probably be better off doing it yourself. As someone has aleady said, the hardest part will be getting the rusty manifolds off. Put the headers on yourself and then drive to your exhaust shop and get the exhaust done (that's the fun part). Driving to the exhaust shop on open headers should be fun :)
