I purchased from Jim but I'd like to find another set. His needs a very little work and was sold at a very fair price. Very happy with him and the headers. BUT if I can find a unicorn (still in box) I'd gladly buy them too.
On a sadder note I was replied to from a 2019 post by a scammer claiming to have what I seek. Even worse he stole pictures from a seller here named Tim and tried to pass them off as the "unicorn"! Very sad. Suspicious from the start my communication with the gentleman was sideways from the start. User Chrisfucs started thus by recommending an email to the owner. I'm posting this to warn the unexposed to scammers members.
Here is my e-mail correspondence. If you read this from the bottom up it will make sense. PayPal has a good system designed to protect the buyer.
My last reply to him is the part immediately below. Go to end and read up for full messages.
And I worked hard for mine. I'm also retired Deputy Sheriff with the last 15 years as an Economic and High Technology Crimes Investigator. So I've seen ever scam there is and that makes me see red flags. I'm offering to drive there and pay cash to pick up the headers and your saying no. I dont understand that. How are you going to get hurt? COD is safe and nobody gets hurt yet you say you don't know anything about it. I try to explain the simplicity of it and yet you only want to use the only payment method that I have no protection with and guarantees your anonymity. There is only a 4% fee to use regular Paypal and I agreed to pay that yet you refuse. PayPal said they deemed your account suspicious and you didn't offer to contact them and resolve the issue. Instead You want me to use your wife's account who strangely doesnt have your last name or Saxe Cooper is not your name only a screen persona. You were reccomended to me by a user that had never posted and that's suspicious! Further the pictures you sent are pictures from 2019 and owned by a man named Tim.

Hello
I have so considerate enough.. I make a suggestion if you paying only shipping and I will ship to buy it seems you are thinking of me ripping you off your money which I won’t because I work hard for mine…
That’s is the best I can do.

Hello
I’m not familiar with COD.. I only accept PayPal payment and you don’t want to do that . I really wants to sell but without any payment I can’t send my headers and I will not get my money ..
Thanks

Is there a problem sending it COD. IT DOES NOT COST YOU ANTHING. Only me. I do want the headers and I have the money. Let's get this done. You get the money I get the headers.

Hi
I only accept payment as friends and family.. I can understand your concern, I will suggest you only make $100 for shipping as friends so I can be able to ship. Since I can trust you then you make the full payment when you got it .
I hope that works for you..
Thanks

Yes I'll try again but the Friends & Family won't work. I'll try the other way. If not send it COD and I'll pay the charges. Either way you get paid and I get the headers. Then we are both happy!

Hello
That might be some technical issues..
Are you sending from PayPal balance? You can try sending to my wife PayPal.
Here’s my wife PayPal email address Lizzie.Bailey@diplomats.com.
Kindly send payment as friends and family .
Let me know if this goes through.
Thanks

I tried but PayPal said the transaction could not be completed. I used PayPal less than two weeks ago and it worked fine. Any ideas. If you have to, ship it COD and I'll cover the charges. If we do that I'll have it shipped to my house.

I saw the pictures and the headers look right. If Hooker had not discontinued these they were right around $960. I would have ordered a set no problem. Since I just bought a set used and needing minor repair for $400, I'd like to stay at $1000 plus shipping. Shipping on the first set was $76.

Hi
Okay.. I understand your opinion, It’s a slightly used one like new which doesn’t have to be modified.. it have all the primary extensions that allows you to tune the header..
With you have gotten one in months ago I will be considerate and will be open to your offer including shipping?
What’s your shipping address?
I’m located in Missouri.
Thanks

I'm in Pensacola Florida. That's the NW corner of FL. Just east of Mobile Alabama.
What are they worth? I've been half heartedly looking since 2020. Missed a pair in box for $900. Got serious about two months ago and two weeks ago I bought a used set with minor damage for $400. I also found out that I can have a set made for $1300 by a local fabricator that has built large tube headers for some other local guys.
My biggest issue right now is I've bought a manual rack and pinion that bolts to the frame rails right behind the the lower A arms. It replaces the factory under motor cross brace. I'm a bit concerned it might interfere with the 6375 headers. We have the car completely stripped from the firewall forward and it will be a little bit before it's all refitted to see if the used headers will fit with the rack and pinion. If the used will fit I'm interested in yours since they need repairing. If they have to be modified I'm not sure. I guess the price would be the determining factor.
Do you have all the primary extensions that allow you to tune the headers? They should have 2 ⅛" primaries and 4" or 3 ½" collectors with out flanges. Is this what yours has. Where are you located?
