Performance truck headers, manufactured by Hedman Hedders, are engineered and manufactured in the USA for Chevy, Ford, and Dodge truck applications. Since 1954, Hedman Hedders has designed exhaust header systems that deliver improved exhaust flow, reliable fitment, and long-term durability for classic and late-model truck platforms. Whether you’re working on a C10, Silverado, F-Series, Ram, or custom street truck build, Hedman truck headers are built to meet the demands of performance and restoration projects alike.
Designed for proper chassis clearance and optimized exhaust scavenging, Hedman truck headers are available in long tube and shorty configurations to suit a wide range of engine combinations and vehicle applications.
Made in the USA: Manufactured with precision craftsmanship and strict quality control standards to ensure consistent fitment and performance.
Proven Since 1954: Decades of header engineering experience across small block, big block, LS, and late-model truck platforms.
Long Tube & Shorty Options: Available in configurations designed to balance horsepower gains, torque characteristics, and installation requirements.
Engineered for Proper Fitment: Designed to clear steering components, crossmembers, suspension systems, and factory accessories where applicable.
Durable Finish Options: Offered in multiple finish options, including painted and ceramic-coated styles for corrosion resistance and long-term appearance.
Truck headers improve exhaust flow compared to factory manifolds, which can enhance horsepower, torque, and throttle response. They also reduce backpressure and can improve overall engine efficiency.
Long tube headers are typically designed for maximum horsepower and torque gains, particularly in performance applications. Shorty headers are designed to fit closer to factory exhaust routing and may be preferred where space or emissions considerations apply.
Yes. Hedman truck headers are engineered for specific engine and chassis combinations to ensure proper fitment and installation compatibility. Always verify application fitment before selecting any set of headers.
Some applications may require connection pipes, reducers, or exhaust system adjustments depending on vehicle configuration and header style. In most instances, unless the headers are factory replacement and bolting up to the factory flange on your exhaust system, you will need to weld header reducer(s) to the exhaust system to bolt up to the ball collectors on most Hedman Hedders. Fitment details vary by application.
Hedman truck headers are available through authorized Hedman dealers nationwide and internationally. To locate an online or local retail speed shop, use our dealer locator to find a distributor near you.
Important Fitment Note: Unless otherwise stated in the information provided on this site, Hedman Hedders are designed for use on stock cylinder heads. The use of aftermarket cylinder heads, or cylinder heads not original equipment on the listed vehicle, may result in component or chassis interference, as well as spark plug clearance issues. Always consult the cylinder head manufacturer before purchasing headers for use on aftermarket or non-stock heads, or contact the Hedman Tech Department at 562.921.0404 (Monday through Friday, 8:00 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. Pacific Time).
