Product Details

These headers provide a cost-effective performance upgrade that improves exhaust flow and increases horsepower while maintaining a compact design that fits applications with tight engine bay clearances.

Key Features:

  • Shorty design for improved ground clearance and easier installation
  • Small Block Chevy fitment for early Camaro and Chevelle models
  • Hand-tested with sturdy, leak-proof welds for reliable performance
  • Durable painted finish for corrosion resistance
  • Precision-manufactured using computer-aided design
  • High-quality steel construction for long-lasting durability

Hedman Hedders are engineered to provide an affordable performance solution without sacrificing quality. The shorty configuration makes these headers ideal for street applications where chassis clearance and ease of installation are priorities, while still delivering noticeable performance gains over restrictive factory manifolds.

Great buying experience

Product arrived exactly as described

easy ordering. 15 secs and i was done.

Packaged appropriately for the product. Shipped on time and arrived in great shape.

I ordered a new latch for my center console and it fit perfectly. I could have bought it locally but the local store didn't have it in stock. I figured if it had to be ordered I could order it sent to my house.

Received my package with correct item, I will definitely order more parts or items in the near future. Thanks

Will buy from Autoplicity again. I found what I was looking for at the lowest price and shipping was very fast. The website navigation was not as good as some other sites however with persistence I usually found what I was looking for.

I am very satisfied with the product and price was great.

First off, I LOVE my new shipments! These guys had everything at super low prices, and the shipping was phenomenally fast. It's all working great, and imm definitely buying from these guys again.

Ordered a sling to store my roof rack. There was an issue with the supplier which was quickly resolved by the Autoplicity staff. Great customer service -- most responsive I've ever seen.<br><br>Best prices around.

Easy shopping, but would be nice if the picture matched the model, it would have saved me 20 minutes of waiting on the phone for customer service.

Great service. Shipped out the day after I ordered it...plus it was the cheapest of the competition.

I bought a Motive pressure brake bleeder from Autoplicity. I have been looking around for different prices for quite a while, and their price, even with shipping cost, was the lowest. After ordering, I received a notification of shipment and tracking number. The item arrived well packaged, complete, and intact within a few days. I am looking forward to using it.

Cheap prices, great quality, and fast delivery. Autoplicity will continue to receive my patronage.

Easy and fast. Order arrived very fast. Thanks.
