Coated Race Headers - SBC

The Hedman Coated Race Headers for Small Block Chevy engines deliver proven street performance with superior heat management and durability. Built specifically for 1970–1981 GM F-Body and X-Body vehicles, these 1.75-inch primary tube headers flow exhaust gases with minimal restriction while the metallic ceramic coating reduces underhood temperatures and protects against corrosion and thermal cycling.

The 3-inch collector design optimizes scavenging across the RPM band, enabling more consistent power delivery from low-speed cruising through higher-RPM operation. At 35.8 pounds, this pair is engineered for street cars where weight matters, yet the steel construction ensures longevity under sustained heat and pressure. Gaskets and hardware are included, making installation straightforward without sourcing additional components. The metallic ceramic coating—a hallmark of Hedman's manufacturing—provides a factory-finished appearance while resisting thermal damage that typically degrades standard paint or coating.

These headers suit enthusiasts building or restoring classic muscle cars and street rods on a budget-conscious timeline. Whether upgrading from restrictive factory manifolds or replacing damaged headers, the Coated Race Headers deliver measurable improvements in exhaust scavenging and engine bay aesthetics without requiring custom fabrication or trimming. For SBC-powered F-Body and X-Body platforms, they represent a proven, direct-fit solution backed by Hedman's long-standing reputation in the headers category.
