Hot Rods, Street Rods, Rat Rods & Nostalgia Rods are hotter than ever, and nothing gives your vintage rod that racy look and sound like a set of our headers. Improve the performance & sound quality of your 1932-1953 Flathead Ford V8 with these high quality & affordable tubular steel center dump design headers.

Although these are 1932-1953 Ford Car specific headers, they will fit many other applications with usually a minimum of changes.

Chrome Warning:

Due to a revised chroming process brought on by recent EPA regulations and high labor costs, today's chrome is not the quality of days gone by. Be Aware: Exhaust components which are chrome plated are now much more susceptible to blueing, blistering, peeling & corrosion. We see very few headers that do not change color once exhaust temperatures are achieved. No warranty or returns on chrome exhaust items once they have been installed.

Header Return Policy:

Please refer to the header measurement chart below to make sure the header will fit your vehicle and application before ordering. In the event you order a header that will not fit your vehicle and application, you may return them for a refund, providing you don't damage the header. When you receive the header, the finish will be protected and must remain unscratched for a refund. If you bend or dimple any of the tubes or scratch the finish, we will not be able to sell the header and will not be able to process a refund. Use care when trial fitting headers. Repack them well to prevent damage returning them to us. We won't process refunds for scratched, dimpled, dented, or bent headers.
