Add in the year round aridity of Southern Arizona and I thought they would last fovever. Not to mention how cool the Mummy Wrap looked. So I was shocked when my Hedders burned out after only 7 years. Even more shocked when I found Heddmans had a lifetime warranty but mummy wrapping voided it. I had Heddman p/n:69069 [I think]. I ordered the same p/n -- for a '71 [K/5] K/1500 w/Clutch and SBC. The new ones were not the same 3-bolt collectors. The replacements [under the same p/n] were a new type with a Ball-type collector -- held on by 3 long bolt sets.I was p!ssed I had to cut off my Muffler-side collector ends, and run open-pipes seven miles down to the muffler shop and pay for more welding.
