Ultimate Headers 321 Stainless Steel Headers

Ultimate Headers 321 Stainless Steel Headers integrate a cutting-edge, patented design, created specifically for maximum performance and minimal weight, with 3D-engineered flanges, and superior 321 stainless steel to deliver a unique combination of elegance and horsepower. Born in World War II for aircraft engine exhaust manifolds by adding titanium to basic nickel/chromium alloy steel, 321 stainless provides reduced weight, plus increased resistance to material fatigue and thermal cracking in high-heat environments. Finite Element Analysis (FEA) processes are used to create Ultimate Headers and the unique Ultimate Flanges with their signature, high-tech, ribbed reinforcements that reduce weight, improve flange cooling, and lessen heat-induced warpage; while providing the required clamping forces to eliminate leakage. Ultimate 321 Stainless Steel Headers' tight radius, investment-cast, 316L stainless steel elbows immediately turn the header tubes away from the exhaust ports with a radius smaller than the tube diameter (which can't be done using a tube bender); holding the header tubes close to the block—perfect for engine swaps. Investment casting also maintains the desired wall thickness and avoids the thinner sidewall created by tube bending at the point where exhaust gas temperature and volume are at their highest. These benefits, combined with the advanced Cometic MLS (multi-layer stainless steel) header gaskets included with each set of headers, give Ultimate Headers 321 Stainless Steel Headers the leading edge when it comes to adding a total performance-enhancing exhaust system. Features include: * Patented design * Includes premium corrosion and heat-resistant ARP 12-point, 300 grade stainless steel bolts and washers * Jig fixture, TIG-welded for precise quality control * Easy to install * Header tubes are mounted high and tight for a compact, space efficient package away from steering shafts and frame rails * Eye-catching flanges add dramatic improvement to the engine compartment * Available styles include rear-dump and block-hugger designs * Available in a variety of finishes, including mill, satin, mirror polish, ceramic coated silver, and ceramic coated black *Ultimate Headers Cast Header Flanges or Extreme Low-Profile Clamps (both sold separately) are recommended for the end of the collectors

Hedman Tight Tubes Street Rod Headers

Hedman Tight Tubes offer the lowest profile header collector available. Chosen by professional car builders and seasoned gearheads, with Hedman's innovative 4-into-1 Tight Tubes the collector tucks the header tubes and hook-ups against the engine block for more component clearance than ordinary street rod headers. And, the larger volume collector design provides exhaust flow that surpasses standard block hugging designs. Available in mild steel with 16-gauge header tubes uncoated and coated. The HTC silver and Black Maxx ceramic-metallic coatings offer superior heat insulation and anti-corrosion properties to protect your "Hedder" investment and retain more heat inside the header tubes for increased exhaust velocity and improved scavenging. For tight engine compartments, choose Hedman Tight Tubes—the headers that go where ordinary headers won't.

Hedman Traditional Block Hugger Headers

Hedman traditional block hugger headers feature a design that is ideal for factory manifold replacements or engine swap projects that do not have a header designed specifically for that application. Hedman block huggers have an extremely low profile, only Hedman Tight Tubes headers offer more clearance. They are offered in mild steel and stainless steel either coated or uncoated to meet your performance and budgetary needs. The HTC and Black Maxx ceramic-metallic coatings offer superior heat insulation and anti-corrosion properties to protect your "Hedder" investment and retain more heat inside the header tubes for increased exhaust velocity and improved scavenging.

Sikky Manufacturing LSX Swap Headers

Sikky Manufacturing LSX swap headers allow perfect drop-in fitment. Designed around using the Sikky mount kits and components, these headers are available for several applications in mild steel, ceramic coated mild steel, or with stainless steel primaries and collectors. (See product Notes and Applications for specific model fitment details.) Features include: * V-band flange pre-installed—clamp and other half included—(not all models) * Includes new gaskets and bolts * May have one oxygen sensor bung installed per header (not all models) Ceramic coating process includes: * Parts are thermal degreased at 750 degrees for 3 hours to remove any impurities and contaminates—the most effective way to clean parts * After thermal, they go through a series of blasting on all surfaces * Once a surface profile is created, they are hand-sprayed with aluminum ceramic coating * After parts are covered, they're put in the oven and cured at 750 degrees for 2 1/2 hours * When curing is complete, they are polished to a high luster in a vibratory polisher using special ceramic beads, along with special soap and water * After polishing, they receive a wipe down and inspection before going to shipping * 3-year warranty on coatings for corrosion

Hedman Street Headers

For the price, no other part can give you the horsepower and fuel economy improvements of Hedman headers. They make Hedman Street headers so well that they guarantee them to be free from defects--including cracks in the tubes and welds--for the life of the headers. Hedman Street headers are available uncoated or in Black Maxx or their polished HTC thermal ceramic coated finishes and, as an added bonus, they also come with all necessary gaskets and mounting hardware. Unless otherwise noted, these headers are designed to fit the vehicle as it came from the manufacturer. This includes components like cylinder heads, chassis, steering, motor mounts, body mounts, and bushings, etc. If your vehicle is using aftermarket components, parts from other applications, or custom-altered parts, then it is the installer's responsibility to verify fitment. Special warning regarding Hedman painted headers only. The paint on these headers is not designed as a final finish; it is designed to protect the headers after the manufacturing process and during shipping. This paint will not withstand the high heat associated with engine break-in, nor will it withstand the heat cycles associated with any type of driving. It is recommended that this protective coating be stripped, and a high heat paint or coating designed for use on headers be applied.
