Edelbrock 65022 Ceramic Coated Shorty Header

Great Product, They look sweet under the hood, easy to install the hardest part was taking the stock intake mannys off. noticed alittle power gains. double ur your gaskets like i did and you wont have to worry about leaks.

These headers were not to difficult to install (didn't line up too well but a good pry bar did the trick), but #1 I'm not that impressed with the finish. The "ceramic" coating isn't that great. They are less than a year old and starting to rust pretty badly. I have a set of Hooker super comps on my 73 T/A that I had coated at airborn coatings 5 years ago that look better. Also, I see that some of you other guys have had problems with leaks. Mine are leaking on the drivers side, but I haven't replaced the gasket yet. It sounds like I should make up some copper gaskets ( because I know I won't find any for sale) to seal up the leak. Might try 2 gaskets first. As far as more power or mileage, didn't notice any difference in either. The stock manifolds looked like they had bigger ports on them (6.0 liter).For Edelbrock's, they are not very high quality. If these are made in USA, I'd hate to be the plant that made them or coated them. Don't recommend these headers for the money. Go with the Gibsons. I have friends with them. They are much better quality.

I purchased these headers a while ago and let me tell you i've, never had more trouble trying to fit anything up that was this hard in a while. I've spent countless hours and money and still have never been able to get these headers to fit right. The connection to the y-pipe is off about half an inch or more and the rear ports keep leaking even when torqued properly. Not even trying to re-align the y-pipe has worked. I am a full time mechanic at mercedes-benz in VA and also own my second 69 camaro so i know what its like to put headers on. i would not recommend this product to anyone who does not want to waste their time and i have to say i now own something that "MR. Vic Edelbrok would not be proud to put his name on." This modd has cost me over $650 now with no results.

The install was easy,but the performance gains ???Felt as though seat of the pants acceleration was improved but highway milage was worse by about 1 MPG.Truck also has Gibson cat-back system and K&N air cleaner.

I am happy with the performance that I am getting, but I couldn't get them to seal up right. I took them off and put them back on a couple of times but it would always leak around the rear ports. I finally took it into a muffler shop and they made some gaskets for it that worked.
