I'm not sure if they're the same ones spaceman is talkin' about but hedman has a shorty pair where the dump angles back...... linky to hedman shorties John The dream is dead, long live the dream.......😥

The Ebay headers are stainless steel with thick motor flanges and 1 3/4" tubes. The reducers are bent to face the rear. I was just wondering if anybody ever tried this no name brand?

If they don't kill you with shipping, the price isn't bad, especially compared to the hedmans (which aren't stainless). Give 'em a shot and report back.

I'll be interested to hear if anyone has these in a truck or 4wd rig.

Would a different angle plug boot have helped the clearance issue to any degree? What about the heddmans mentioned earlier? Any plug clearance issues with those(Im looking at those also).

Hopefully I'll be putting the heads and Hedman's on soon. I have had them for 2 years and haven't done squat yet. Here they are mounted to my E-Heads on a 505 Dual Quad.

While my plug boots are close, i haven't burned any yet. I used 90 degree boots for clearence.I like the fact that the flanges are half inch. The collectors rotate for the angle that you need. 6823494-P6080271.JPG (1572 downloads) 1957 Dodge truck, Snakeskin Green with a little stroker motor. 1964 Plymouth Savoy wagon ( my new project)
