3rd generation Camaro/Firebird headers by Hedman

Dragsinger · 12-12-2009, 02:38 PM

Hedman builds a 3rd generation 1 3/4 x 1 7/8 header that has the tubes exit into a "flat" collector. That is to say, all tubes are side by side, horizontal as they enter the collector. Thus, giving excellent ground clearance.

The design looks good and I think it will fit my combination well.

But before placing the order, do some of you know racers running this header?

Larry, My son Bryan had a set of them on his 85 camaro stocker and think they were faster than any thing he has tried since. I am putting a set back on next year!

Thanks Lee,

I appreciate the note.

Jorge Carnero, Hugh Meeks come to mind right now. I know they are both happy with them . Note- I think you will have to use a shorter oil filter, but it should clear without using an adapter.

oil filter will not be a problem with the hedmans , but after running them on two different third gen stockers the ones i had built by pete z. were better quality,fit better and were faster in my opinion than the hedmans

There will be ground clearance problems with that header. They also make a special order three step that is better than that. For the money call up Pete Z and order a set of his with a merge megaphone collector... KO
