Default Shorty Headers

Anyone using shorty or "hugger" headers with stock (69) sidepipes. Jegs has Dynomax and Patriot headers but they say they may interfere with stock motor mounts. I would like to use these to connect to the down pipe on the stock sidepipe.

I just talked to the guys at Hedman hedders and they have a set that will bolt directly to your factory side exhaust.

Hedman part # 68210 - Black Coated
# 68216 - Ceramic Coated

Did you see the "Ad Models" pages????

I guess it's safe to say yes, they have headers and they have "Hookers" too....

While Headman can make good headers those are not one of them.
They are a horrible design. Huge differences in primary length which make tuneing a nightmare. Also the o-ring flanges are a real PITA.

Block huggers are better by far.
