If you think about the time frame it made sense as most of the serious racers were running with the nose higher than stock anyway. Street guys might have gone elsewhere though, as you could flatten those tubes easily at close to stock height. My cousin ended up with a GT 500 Shelby through a trade that had Tubies and he was constantly cutting out sections that got flattened out.

Cool stuff!! I ran Hookers on my 69' W-30 ... they tucked up underneath pretty good. I remember back in the day many of the Mustang troops had headers somewhat like Tubies ...
