Title: Headers selection?
Post by: warwagon85 on May 02, 2015, 02:05:34 PM
85 c10 shortbed. Looking suggestions on replacing my headers.  Truck has headers already but are rotted out with severe exhaust leaks.  They've probably been on for about 20 years but I don't know what they are or if they are even meant for the truck.  Truck had been the family about 18 years.  One of the tubes on right side flattened to clear starter.  Is that normal or did someone do that?  327 block and 400 heads.

Hooker headers.

Buy them for your truck with a 350.

I know Hedman headers are reputable and they make a line specifically for C-10s.

Thanks guys.  I'll look into those.  Any opinions on Flowtech headers?

There ok but what you save in price you sacrifice in ease of installation. I had a set before, ok but wouldn't get them again. I use Hedman's now. One of the their 4wd models on my 2wd keeps them tucked up between the frame, look and perform great.
