https://americanracingheaders.com/products/amc-amx-headers?variant=6826564583478
There are cheaper ones/other manufacturers but wow! Talk about sticker shock!
Hey I found something more expensive than Mopar parts! :haha:
Seriously? :Thud:
:rubeyes:
nice looking piece
You'll never afford a GTX spending money on that :Thud:
Yikes! Too high for me.
I agree way too much. However, not knowing AMC's if it fit's well goes around the appropriate accessories and all of the other ones on the market don't work well it may be a good deal. Why do we purchase the TTI headers and not the cheapie headers. You pay for what you get.
From the link:
"A first of their kind for AMC, all 304 Stainless Steel material that is 100% USA Made"
How much would TTI's cost if they were available in stainless?

I was thinking that also but, that was a little " ambitious" on their part. I was also looking into these.... also in 304 stainless.

I must admit though the $1700 dollar headers do look very nice and well built/designed, just not sure the extra price is warranted as to the maximizer brand headers? I've been searching on google for reviews about this brand and can't find any real negatives so far....?
AMC is 304SS vs TTI coated steel.

Understood, what he was saying/or what his point, is what would TTI's cost if they were stainless instead of steel.
Maybe they're a 1 of 1 :rubeyes: header....
The ARH long tubes for my SS were $1500.00 cash out the door. That s the best deal I found. They fit like a glove with out any installation swearing. I was really impressed with the quality and fitment! ARH are the best. I think Dyno Don was medling with the AMC stuff a while back.
Not many AMC's out there and not many suppliers....some one has to pay for the development work :)
I had a customer in today saying he can't get a water pump for a 72 and older AMC.
Should be able to get his rebuilt :thinking:

Galvin's Rambler and AMC, Lodi, California, sells water pumps for the AMC line. I bought a water pump from him that is now on my 68 AMX 390. His facility is in the process of moving to Oregon. You may have to let the phone ring ten times. (209) 365-6380. Or, go to their website.
Thanks: I'll let him know. He just found an original 72 AMX with all the options and he's getting it running. I like helping guys with the not so normal cars. He also has a 68 AMX.
Technically, a '72 AMX is a glorified Javelin with what AMC calls an AMX trim level, and unlike the 68-70 AMX because the '71 and newer Javelin AMX has a back seat, and is known as a "Humpster" due to the Corvette like humps in the front fenders.
That is a BIT pricey but like other have said you pay for what you get. IMO I think TTI are best bet for the money.
wow,and I thought my ceramic coated Dougs were expensive!
Mopar guys hate money, there is no doubt about it when you consider how much it costs to buy parts for these cars. AMC guys are masochistic, restoring an AMX makes a Challenger seem like a Camaro in comparison.
Then there are the guys who are in to Ferrari's and other exotics, I don't even know where to begin with them.

The bargain headers for my '00 BMW M5 are $2500. The "good" version equivalent to Doug's/TTI start at $5k and the ultimate equal length jobs from Dinan were $8k when you could still get them. I'm glad that car will be going down the road soon and I can deal with the lower "M" tax with the Cuda.
