Hedman Elite Silver Ceramic 1-3/4” Long Tube Headers for 1968-1987 GM Trucks with a 396-502 C.I. Big-Block Chevy Engine.
Let your 1968-1987 GM truck and its 396-502 C.I. big-block Chevy engine breathe easy with these Hedman Elite silver ceramic long tube headers! Their 1-3/4” smooth-flowing tubes enhance your truck’s exhaust flow, allowing for an increase in horsepower and torque. These Elite series headers are equipped with stout 3/8” flanges and thick 14-gauge primary tubes. To accommodate for the high exhaust temperatures that tow trucks and high-performance vehicles produce, these headers have silver ceramic finishes that withstand up to 1400° F! This coat keeps heat in the tubes, giving you impressive exhaust speeds, improved exhaust scavenging, and low underhood temperatures.
