No, there is no spelling error with the Hedman Sport Compact Hedders. The “Hedders” is part of the brand name that actually refers to engine headers. When it comes to the manufacture of quality headers, the Hedman Hedder brand is one of the most reliable. The Hedman Company manufactures both sports headers as well as street legal headers. Most states prohibit the use of certain types of headers because they cause pollution. Since the main purpose of headers is to eliminate backpressure by allowing exhaust gases to escape freely at faster rate, some gases bypass anti-pollution treatment.

A normal street car usually does not require headers to optimally function. However, there are car enthusiasts that may want to improve the torque and horsepower of their vehicles that is why they install engine headers. The Hedman Sport Compact Hedder can be fitted in almost all make or model of automobile. It has a 3/8” CNC machined flanges that are Mandrel bent for smooth bends and easy fitting. Hardware and gasket are also included to prevent leaks. Structural rigidity is assured by the 16-gauge tubing and MIG welding. It also retains emission hook-ups to minimize pollution in the exhaust. The “booster rocket” Y-pipe design with equalizer tube maximizes torque without compromising emission quality.

To understand how an engine header works, it is important to first understand backpressure. In a typical gasoline engine, the engine undergoes a four-stroke cycle, namely, the intake stroke, the compression stroke, the power or combustion stroke, and the exhaust stroke. All these strokes involve the action of the pistons. However, only during the power stroke that real engine power is produced. The rest of the strokes merely consume energy to make the power stroke possible. It is during the exhaust stroke that backpressure occurs when there is a buildup of exhaust gases. Backpressure produces resistance against the pistons which may result in the loss of engine power.

Hedman Sport Compact Hedders solve the problem of backpressure. Even if you do not intend to convert your vehicle into a race car, this product can significantly increase the performance of your vehicle.
