About this product
Brand New Pair of Southwest Speed Ceramic Hot Coated Center Dump Headers for 1932-1953 Flat Head Fords with 136-255ci V-8 Engines (Part #440-2461).
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. Complete with header bolts and gaskets, flange bolts and gaskets, 2-1/2" diameter companion flanges. Ground parallel with .300" flanges on the mounting surface. Although these are 1932-1953 Ford Car specific headers, they will fit many other applications with usually a minimum of changes. Ceramic Hot Coating (CHC) is a heat resistant, ceramic coating applied to the outside of the header. This coating will reflect heat, which helps retain more heat within the header tube, while simultaneously speeding up the exhaust flow. Not only will this coating help you make more horsepower, it also keeps your headers rust-free, looking great, and lasting longer (when properly maintained). If you are looking for a quality finish for your headers, this is it. Good to 1300 degrees.

No warranty or returns on Ceramic Hot Coated exhaust items once they have been installed.

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.
