Hedman’s Hedders Debuts Mid-Length Headers for Big-block C10s/C20s

Hedman’s Hedders has just the thing for lowriding, big-block-driven C10s and C20s with this new product. You’ve got to have ground clearance if you want to lower your truck’s stance, and Hedman’s mid-length headers are a great solution for that exact reason. With 1 3/4″ mandrel-bent primaries and ball-and-socket style flanges, these headers let the engine exhale easily while leaving plenty of room so ground clearance isn’t an issue. 

Official Release:

Chevrolet C10 and C20 pickup trucks have become increasingly popular among enthusiasts thanks to their plentiful numbers, an abundance of available parts and, in the case of the C10, a stock car-style truck-arm suspension that perfectly complements a lowered stance. Adding to the popularity of these trucks is the availability of classic Big Block Chevy power, whether originally equipped or as a transplant. Big blocks need to breathe, however, and if your truck is lowered, traditional long tube headers can have major ground clearance issues leading to scraped and dented primary tubes. Now, with the release of Hedman’s new mid-length headers, C10/20 owners can get the most horsepower possible from their big blocks, without having to worry about costly header or exhaust system damage caused by diminished ground clearance.

Hedman’s mid-length headers are engineered to deliver maximum exhaust flow while maintaining a lower profile than traditional long tubes. With 1 ¾-inch mandrel bent primaries, these headers have the capacity to complement heavy breathing naturally aspirated or supercharged big blocks. Hedman’s C10/20 headers also feature an integrated ball-and-socket style flange collector to provide a durable, gasket-free seal. They fit 1967-1987 Chevrolet and GMC 1/2-ton and 3/4-ton trucks equipped with the factory 396cid or 454cid V8 engine as well as aftermarket Big Block Chevys that utilize factory-style heads.

Built in the U.S.A., Hedman’s C10 and C20 headers are constructed with beefy, 3/8-inch flanges that keep the thick, 14-gauge mandrel-bent primary tubes firmly attached to the engine, even under harsh driving conditions. These headers are available in your choice of either an uncoated finish (Part# 69170) or a silver HTC high-temp ceramic-metallic coating (Part#69176). Mounting hardware, gaskets and installation instructions are also included with the headers. These headers are built so well that Hedman guarantees them for life and the HTC-coating for five years.

Features:

• Complement heavy breathing, naturally aspirated, or supercharged big blocks
