Default Hedman Header Question

The collector is 3". Is that bell a reducer? The reason I ask is I picked up a 3" b&b exhaust and have the headers ordered so I need to figure out what I need to connect the header collector to my new 3" exhaust.

You will need "header extensions" to mate the two. There isn't. "Kit" for this, usually an exhaust shop can use some 3" piping and flare the ends accordingly to mate them.

Thank you. I kind of figured I might need an exhaust shop to make the final connection and do the flares for the collector.

I have two different sets of "Bell" , collectors for my Headman headers. One bought thru Summit and one set bought thru headman...one set has both O2 sensor flanges , one doesn't. Just above this link is a set of bell extensions.

Hedman headers will come with reducers. It connects the header collector (3" in diameter) to the exhaust pipe. The provided reducers will have a 2-1/2" end.

In the link to the reducers, you can find 3" reducers that will work and Summit also has individual reducers in the size you need (and different material) that already has an O2 bung welded in. Just make sure you order the reducers for the ball and socket flange style.
