Header recommendations?

Anyone have a good header recommendation for a 1972 C-10 w/ a 350. The truck has been lowered but not alot as you can see from the avatar.

Thanks

Re: Header recommendations?

Nice looking truck Quentin.
I'm using Hedman Elite Ceramic-coated Full length. Best bang for my hard-earned buck, that's for Da*n sure. I lowered mine 2-inches on all 4 corners (ECE springs) and I never have any problems with hitting anything. Posted a pic for ya. You can see where the Hedder comes down and out.
Summit Part# 69890.

If you're planning on going any lower with your suspension I'd consider a 3/4 type or shorty.

Re: Header recommendations?

I'm runnin' Headman "Street Hedders" (full length). Basically kinda the same as 96blzr but just not ceramic coated. I am workin' up to fabricating some Tri-Y's myself and then having them coated. My truck has been lowered 3" in back and about 1.5" in front.

Unbelievable, just Fantastic!! The sound is just incredible. Was at a show a month ago and it was over, so I started my truck and the guy next to me, who always owns these rare and SERIOUS high-dollar cars, says: "That sounds great!" I said "Thanks". I was beaming from ear to ear.

I did a ton of listening (youtube), reading and looking. I can't say enough good things about them! I did my entire system in 2 1/2 SS, so I got the SS Aerochambers. A great, well made product.
Here's the key for me: You don't sound like everyone else. I STRONGLY and HIGHLY recommend you look into getting a pair. It's just my opinion, but I know I made the right choice.

Re: Header recommendations?

With headers, you seriously get what you pay for. I am a fan of the hooker headers, I had a set on an old 69 SWB I used to have and I miss the headers more than I miss the truck. I am saving my pennies for another set of hookers as we speak.
