Competition Headers

The Hooker Headers 2452HKR Competition Headers are engineered for enhanced performance in Small Block Chevy engines powering GM Fullsize SUVs and Trucks manufactured between 1963 and 1991. Constructed from robust 16-gauge mild steel, these headers are finished in a high-heat resistant black paint for durability and a sleek appearance. The primary tubes measure 1 5/8 inches by 27 inches in OD, leading to a 2.5-inch OD collector that is 8 inches long, designed to optimize exhaust flow and reduce back pressure. These headers offer high performance and durability at an affordable price point. The 16-gauge material not only ensures longevity but also welds easier, making installation potentially smoother. The heat-cured finish provides high heat resistance, crucial for the demanding environment of an engine bay. It is important to note that these Hooker Competition Headers will not fit vehicles equipped with angle plug heads. The product listing provides an extensive list of specific vehicle applications, including various Chevrolet and GMC C/K/R/V series trucks and SUVs from 1963 to 1991, all utilizing Small Block Chevy engines.
