Default I Iound Cheap Headers

-I'm thinking of putting headers on my 1988 lifted blazer this summer. I was wondering if anyone is running these?

Chevrolet S10 Blazer Hedman Standard Duty Headers - 1988-1993 Chevrolet S10 Blazer - Hedman H5669410

-They're pretty cheap. Cheapest that i've found for a 4.3. Has anyone found any headers for a 4.3L that are cheaper?


I was thinking headers to a high flow cat to a 2.5 single-in 2.5 duel-out 40 series or super 44 Flowmaster muffler and tail pipes straight out the back.

-Whats louder 40 series or super 44?

Beware of cheap headers! They'll increase under hood temps, burn out faster & may not fit properly/easily.

They arent the best. but should work. You need some headerwrap to help keep engine bay temps down. which is like $40-50.00 to put that in your budget.


Ive always been told longtube headers are better for low end torque,shorties for top end. Not sure if its true or not since i dont own any.
