96-98 Chev/GMC 1500-3500 5.0/5.7L

The 96-98 Chev/GMC 1500-3500 5.0/5.7L headers from Hedman (part number HED69650) are designed for performance enthusiasts looking to enhance the exhaust flow of their Chevrolet and GMC trucks. These headers are compatible with both naturally aspirated 5.0L and 5.7L V8 engines, providing a significant boost in horsepower and torque by replacing restrictive factory manifolds.

Engineered with mandrel-bent primary tubes, these headers optimize flow velocity and minimize scavenging losses, ensuring improved engine breathing and throttle response. The construction is designed to withstand thermal stress and corrosion, making them suitable for high-output engine bays. Each header is meticulously crafted to match OEM specifications, ensuring a straightforward installation process.

Ideal for owners of 1996–1998 Chevrolet and GMC full-size trucks (C1500, K1500, C2500, K2500, C3500, K3500 models), these headers are perfect for towing, hauling, or spirited driving. They install as a direct replacement, bolting directly to the existing exhaust system without the need for adapter plates or extensive modifications, although some configurations may require minor adjustments.
