Product Details

The Hedman Hedders 88400 Standard Duty Shorty Headers are designed for classic Ford and Mercury vehicles equipped with small block Windsor 260-302 cubic inch engines. Manufactured in the USA since 1954, these headers feature CNC mandrel-bent mild steel construction with smooth-flowing 18-gauge primary tubes that deliver improved exhaust flow, increased low-end torque, and enhanced horsepower compared to factory manifolds.

Key Features:

  • 1-1/2 inch diameter primary tubes for optimal exhaust flow
  • 2-1/2 inch collector diameter with ball and socket design
  • Shorty design provides excellent ground clearance and component compatibility
  • Gasketless ball and socket collector allows for exhaust system misalignment
  • Hand-welded mild steel construction with 1/4 inch flange thickness
  • 18-gauge mandrel-bent primary tubes ensure consistent flow
  • Compatible with power steering and air conditioning equipped vehicles
  • Designed for automatic transmission applications

What's Included:

  • Pair of headers with ball and socket reducers
  • Header flange gaskets
  • Mounting bolts and hardware
  • Installation instructions

These headers ship with a temporary black paint coating designed to protect during manufacturing and shipping. This coating will burn off during normal operation and is not intended as a final finish. For long-term protection, high-temperature header paint or ceramic coating is recommended. Backed by Hedman's Limited Lifetime Warranty against manufacturing defects. Note: Not legal for street use on 1975 and later model year vehicles - designed for off-road and racing applications only.

Fast service

The product description is not correct, I did not expect to get 14 lbs. it should read 1ea 4 oz. container.

Easy to order, fast shipping, great prices. What else do you need?! I'll buy again

New buyer, very easy to order on line. Will be reviewing your site for more products.

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.

Great website easy to use

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.

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.
