Default Have you guys seen these? Hedman




The price in Jegs is like $210 for the headers and $400 for the header back system. Have any of you guys tried them?

Talk about bang for your buck headers is that 1/8 of an inch really gunna matter? What might you lose to say, kooks? 10 hp if you got an extreme heads and cam package. I think these might take over pacesetters if some sponsors would start offering these.

Say edelbrock victors w/ mergecollector vs hedmans, how do you guys think they will do? I think they will make good power, because of the stepped deisgn, it should speed up exhuast flow, and help scavenge out of the head. Unless you got a big cube motor i dont think you need more than 1/5/8. you could probably throw radical h/c at that n they still will perform great. any other input is appreciated

The Edelbrock Victors seem to be very decent, good fit, quality and power gains supposedly.

These also have ball flanges at the collectors that look like they neck down even further...

nobody has tried the hedman's?

i used to have some of their headers on my 3rd gen Z28 and they were kinda cheap made, but .....

they didnt leak, and they did what they were supposed to do for years

they didnt look good on my clean motor because mine were painted and it burns off upon start up, but .....

they did exactly what a $1000 set of headers would have done ... the tubes were all mandrel bent

if you dont mind the look and are on a budget i say get them
