Headers - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Hello i'm new to the tread here and i'm sure this question has been asked before but does anyone know of any full length headers that will fit our trucks that wont hang below the frame on an automatic with sbc thanks in advance

Hedman mid length headers. Can't recall the part number.

**Grumpy old man** · 05-07-2016, 05:23 AM

Use rams horn factory manifold they flow just as good as any header up to 5,000 rpm and don't leak .

**special-K** · 05-07-2016, 08:53 AM

I guess if he wanted to run manifolds he wouldn't be asking about headers. I'd like to see that chart that show headers make no improvement in flow. I never run my trucks over 5 grand

The 3/4 length headers are a sure bet and on a street truck I think the difference in performance will be negligible between 3/4 and full since the difference plays out in high RPMs. I never had any full-length headers that hung below the frame, but I haven't bought new headers for a 2wd in a long time. It seems many do now and I wonder if it isn't header makers shoving '73-ups onto us 67-72 guys. The 4wd headers ride high and tight. I have the 12 year old Headman Torque-steps off of my '72 right now and wish I had a 2wd to mock them up to. I think they would work, but would like to verify. They say the 4wd headers don't hang as low. The old Cyclones and Blackjacks never hung down

I have Hedman long tube headers and they hang a good 2" below the frame. Wanting to move to a mid length.

Frank81tx · 05-07-2016, 01:19 PM

Yea i got some long tubes on right now and i hate the way they look they hang about 2" easy below the frame think i'll just look into some mid lentghs seems like the best way to go

I'm going to need exhaust for my 72 c10.....Has headers now and was thinking of getting re-pop rams horns....I'm going to be using the 2 1/2" drop spindles in the front so don't want any clearance issues. Are the Headers any good? will be far from a performance sbc..just a daily driver

DBK81 · 05-07-2016, 08:27 PM

Hedman headers are some of the best you could get, my long tubes are ceramic, but like I said, I'll be going to mid length at some point and redoing the exhaust.

I ordered hedman pn#69176 coated mid length headers for my 71 2wd with a 402BB , the hedman help line gave me that number. I ordered them from summit because the could ship them the day I ordered them and Jegs ship date was 5/26. Both had them the same price. I needed them now cause my truck went to my motor guys shop Thursday to get a few more horses

and he is going to put them on while he is doing the work. They will be delivered to him Tuesday. I will take some pics when I get it back after I get the muffler guy to pipe it up.
