Sb S-10 Header 2WD Only

The Hedman Sb S-10 Header 2WD Only is a direct-bolt street performance exhaust manifold engineered specifically for 2-wheel-drive S-10 trucks and compact Chevy-based SUVs from 1982 to 1995. This header replaces restrictive factory cast-iron manifolds with a purpose-built tubular design, unlocking horsepower and improving throttle response. Street headers like this one are essential upgrades for anyone seeking better exhaust scavenging without the complexity of full custom fabrication or the aggression of race-only headers.

Built from mandrel-bent steel tube with 1.625-inch primary tubes that merge into a smooth 3-inch collector, the Sb S-10 Header delivers improved exhaust gas velocity and reduced back-pressure across the RPM band. The tubing diameter is sized to match small-block Chevy port dynamics, maximizing flow efficiency while maintaining drivability on street applications. Black high-temperature paint protects the headers from rust and heat fade, and the package includes all necessary gaskets and hardware for a complete installation—no fabrication or secondary parts required.

This header is an ideal upgrade for enthusiasts running mild to moderate small-block builds in 2WD S-10 platforms who want reliable street performance and dependable part fitment. The 2WD-specific design ensures proper clearance away from transfer case components. Installation involves unbolting the factory manifold, positioning the header, and securing it with the included gaskets and bolts—a straightforward job for any mechanic with basic tools. Pair this with a quality exhaust system downstream for maximum benefit, and expect noticeable gains in midrange torque and top-end responsiveness.
