Has anyone used "Patriot" headers?
I need to order headers for our '67 and there's TOO MANY CHOICES! We put the new 350/330 crate in it and I'm looking at these:
Ceramic Coated 1967-1974 Chevrolet C10 Pickup Brand: Patriot Headers Part #:P1RH80491 Does anyone have any experience with these before I order them? Thanks, Jon |

Re: Has anyone used "Patriot" headers?
I had a set on a 3rd gen Camaro. They fit well...and thats really all that matters when it comes to headers I guess.
My only ***** was that they were 2.5in collectors.

Re: Has anyone used "Patriot" headers?
when going with headers, spend the little extra and get the good ones. Dont go shorty if you can avoid it, and i have heard that FlowTechs are poop. But, in my experience i had a set of long tube FlowTechs on my 82 that were just perfect fit and not loud. Try and find some with ceramic coating and the thick phlanges. Header wrapping may also be a good choice since it will quiet it down and insulate heat.

Header wrap is ****

Re: Has anyone used "Patriot" headers?
Jon,
are they block huggers or long tubes because if you put long tubes on it they hang low tothe ground and you can see them from the side. Just an idea. If you gat block huggers they can tuck the exhaust far better.

Re: Has anyone used "Patriot" headers?
Do what? Are you sure we are on the same page? Or are you joking. No seriously if you get the right block huggers you can simply bolt them on and run them down along the bottom of the cab.

Re: Has anyone used "Patriot" headers?
I think he was talking about performance....because you really only do headers if you want more power. Am I right? And shorties dont do **** for performance.

Re: Has anyone used "Patriot" headers?
I am sure performance is not on his mind. I personally like the new block huggers that use the donut style gaskets. Long tube headers are only good for blown gaskets.

Re: Has anyone used "Patriot" headers?
not the front cross......the one with the trailing arms bolted to it. Maybe a 4" hole on either side and weld in a 2"x4" piece of pipe

Re: Has anyone used "Patriot" headers?
Yeah, that is a good idea. But the headers still hang down far below the firewall then the muffler shop has to go back up three inches. WHatever, just a tip
