What headers do you use on your truck. Have you used, or heard on anyone using the Slick-fit headers from Advance Adapters? Thanks in advance

I used Heddman shorties bought from summit for about 100 bucks they have a 1/4\" flange but they do the trick.

I also heard about those \"slick fit\" headers from advanced adapters. I was wondering if they would be a better investment than those *beep* quality headmans, quote- \"that will have to be replaced in a year\"-webmaster Mike
I know I said that, however, I have had mine on my truck for over 2 and a half years now, the parts that need replaced is the collector gasket that comes with them, if you use a better gasket these headers are alright, and for the money they are great.

i\'d never even heard of the \"slick fit\" well i guess i better check them out. I just got my headman longtubes JetHot coated, guess ill see how they look in a week or so. But i like the way they fit and i have never had a problem with them leaking and i take them out to change plugs and what not, and dont even change the gasket.lol

I haven\'t used the \"slick fit\" but I have seen them. God are they UGLY!! They look kinda like stock manifolds made from tubing. http://www.s10v8.com/images/smilies/icon_confused.gif

I used Flowtech performance shorty hedders.They are made for the V8 conversion and fit perfectly.I had to run the steering shaft through them but nothing touches or rubs anywhere.They were only $199.00 can.

Those slick fit headers don\'t look too good. THe JTR book claims they flow just about as good as the LT1 manifolds!! Sanderson has the best quality shorty headers I have seen. I had a a pair of them and will be getting another set this winter, jet coated of course. And, a higher hp motor is gonna be restricted by the 1 1/2\" primaries the hedmans have. Sanderson offers their shorties in 1 1/2, 1 5/8\'s and 1 3/4\" primaries.

i have the hedman shorties. i first bought the hedman longtube and i hated the way the slip fitted together. they are obviously going to leak. also they hit the frame and the mounts made for the headers no matter which way i angled the motor. but one thing i changed on the shorty ones is that they give you 2\" colectors and man those are small. i ditched them and went with a set of 2.5\" and ran 2.5\" all the way back. http://www.s10v8.com/images/smilies/icon_cool.gif
