Headers for my 350.

[Hlindeen]

I'am curious so im asking some of you 4 wheel drive fellas bout a few things.

I'am wanting to get a set of exhaust headers preferably hooker headers or hedman headers.

but now for the specs, i have a 350 turbo tranny and eventually will be getting a 4 speed. I have a 350 small block, the truck has a 4 inch lift so theres a little clearence but my main concern is id like to get a real loud set of headers, so when i get the exhaust system i want it'll be loud but have a god tone.

If you guys have any suggestions post back or pm me thanks!

Hedmen Elite seires with some 40series Flowmasters will make it loud
Just don't expect to sneek around and if you pull into that camp site late at night you will wake yer neighbors

Burt4x4 - do these headers with exhaust sound good, er do they sound extremely loud all the time? thanks for the post i'll look them up!

I have Hedman Street Hedders and 40 series Flowmaster 2 chamber mufflers. 3" exhaust dumps out in front of rear tires on my '72 GMC with a SBC 350. Very, very, loud... aftrer this install I now need to get a louder stereo system for cruising on the highway.

Ya, it's not really the full length headers making it loud..as you know running any engine with open headers is LOUD REALLLLL Loud!

Flowmaster's 40s are two chamber and are perrty loud all around..idel and WOT. I ran them for years and I like the sound they make and it does sound good to me..things like drive thru TacoBell or whatever, you have to shut your rig off to hear the speaker. Or pulling in somewere hella late...yer gonna wake um all up..no sneeky sneek hahaha

Now I run Flowmaster 50s three chamber with my 454 and it's quite at idel and moderate during clam exceleration yet Loud at WOT or quick shift driving.

okay okay i had a friend of mine that had delta 40's on his pickup with a 350 with flowtech headers and it sounded real good! But his truck is no more me and him were cruising one night and got in an accident and he didnt make it unfortunetly . but that truck had a 4 speed it sounded so soo soooo good!!

Another question do you know anyone that has run spintech exhaust ive looked at some vids on youtube of them and they are mean!

[Burt4x4]

Nope never heard of them?

Manual trannys are fun with loud exhaust I love rappin the engine in-between shifts!

How much do you want to spend? All headers can be loud. Do you want them to be loud ALL the time? Headers and Purple Hornies from Jegs. Do you want to SHOCK people? Headers and Hush Thrush with QTP electric exhaust cut outs. Flip a switch and go from quiet to deaf or anywhere in between

Burt - ya there design are like rectangular or square mufflers but they have a very differant sound compared to other brands like magnaflow, er flowmaster, er borla the big ones. Spintech they make a very wide variety of mufflers for race applications or whatever really. ive looked into them and there not cheap around 80 er so per muffler! But they sound extremely well. im just hoping that if i get a set of flowmasters they sound decent with the cam i have, ive got just a ol edelbrock performer cam has a smooth idle, but when cold or just started has a little lump to it haha!

1malo68 - mainly looking into headers that are tough and will last burt4x4 has me convinced that the headman elite series are what i'am wanting, and for the price there no too bad around 500 er so for a set. Another question i have is about h pipes or x pipes do they make a vehicle louder or change the tone or power at all which is a better descision. THanks fellas preciate it!

Not a lot of headers will work with a 4-speed 4x4 chev. I have the hedman elites that clear the clutch linkage with room to spare. They are beefy and the finish still looks good after a year and change on the truck. H-pipe quiets it out and helps with the torque.

What Part # are you using?

[Hlindeen]

69830 for the elite series this is the part number.

[MTCK]

That part # is correct.

Yep. Probably 6-8k miles in the last year and change and they look like new.

Awsome! what are youn running for exhaust, any exhaust tips, what size tubing.

[MTCK]

Dual 2.5" flowmaster 50 series with h-pipe. It exits out both sides behind the rear wheels in the stock location. No tips for this truck.
