Hedman Hedders has been manufacturing quality headers in the USA since 1954, and they've been manufacturing Jeep headers for decades. Each set uses mild steel, smooth flowing, CNC mandrel bent tubes, that are hand-welded to ensure each pair is identical to the next. Hedman's unique, gasketless ball and socket collector design allows your exhaust system to bolt up to these GEN-3 AMC V8 headers, even if it is not perfectly aligned with the header collectors.
This set is part of Hedman's ELITE line that uses stout 3/8" flanges, and thicker 14 gauge primary tubes. The heavy-duty construction of HEDMAN ELITE Hedders makes them ideal for high-performance engines, which produce higher exhaust temperatures.
ELITE models have a MATTE-SILVER ceramic finish that can withstand temperatures up to 1400 degrees F. The coating looks great, and keeps more heat in the tubes, resulting in faster exhaust speeds for improved scavenging, and reduced underhood temperatures.
These LONG-TUBE, Under-Chassis (in-frame) design headers fit 1972-1986 Jeep CJ5, CJ6 and CJ7 models with a 304-401 AMC V8. They are compatible with manual transmission Jeeps only. (will not work with TF 999 transmission). The long, smooth 1-5/8 in. tube, Dog-Leg port design provides excellent exhaust flow to let your CJ's Tall-Deck, AMC V8 engine breathe freely, and produce maximum torque to power you through virtually any trail.
Each set includes a pair of gaskets, header flange bolts and collector bolts. No collector gasket is needed.
Hedman Hedders is so confident in the quality of its headers that these headers are factory backed by a Limited Lifetime Warranty. The ceramic-metallic coating is covered by a 5-year factory warranty, in addition to Hedman's standard lifetime header warranty.
