Default Hedman headers are great....

I just want to say that these things fit great and didn't require me to jack up the engine to fit. No problems with the clutch linkage either.

I almost bought the Sanderson shorties but they were out of the budget. Now I am fliping a coin on what to do with the rest of the exhaust, chambered or mufflers and if mufflers, what kind..... and what diameter??????????


To many questions......

when you put headers in your car, what all do you have to do to get them hooked up to the rest of the exhaust?

Do most of you guys cut and weld yourself or what? :confused:

They came with a very light,black paint job. I sanded and painted them with ceramic paint. I don't know how long it will last but it seemed pretty durable. I thought that it would scratch during the install but in didn't.
