Each unit reduces a 3.00-inch inlet to a 2.50-inch outside-diameter outlet, ships with three-bolt flanges and gaskets for a sealed connection, and is made from stamped steel in an unfinished, natural surface ready for welding or coating. The set is vehicle-specific in fit and built in the United States, intended for enthusiasts and technicians who need a durable, straightforward adapter between header collectors and smaller exhaust tubing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow does this reducer fit my existing header and exhaust?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThese reducers slip over a 3.00-inch collector outlet on the header and provide a 2.50-inch OD spigot for downstream exhaust tubing. The three-bolt flange ensures bolt-on compatibility with many aftermarket downpipes and adapters, and the included gaskets help create a leak-resistant seal during installation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e3.00 in inlet accepts standard 3-inch header collectors\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e2.50 in OD outlet matches common exhaust tubing sizes\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e3-bolt flange aligns with typical exhaust flange patterns\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eIncludes gaskets for improved sealing and reduced leaks\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat materials and build quality can I expect?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHedman manufactures these reducers from stamped steel with a natural, uncoated finish, offering robust structural strength for exhaust environments.

Because these are vehicle-specific components, final fitment may require minor trimming or welding depending on your vehicle’s header geometry and exhaust layout.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003ePair of collector reducers (left and right or two units for dual systems)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eEach unit includes a three-bolt flange and gasket for sealing\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003ePackage dimensions approximately 14.2 x 17.5 x 10.4 cm and 2.3 lb weight\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eMay require basic exhaust tools: wrenches, clamps, or welding equipment\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eWho is this for? If you are a mechanic, fabricator, or performance enthusiast dealing with mismatched header and exhaust diameters, these Hedman Hedders collector reducers offer a durable, bolt-on solution. They work well for custom exhaust builds, retrofits where a smaller downstream pipe is preferred, or when replacing worn adapters without changing the header. Choose these if you need a reliable steel reducer pair that arrives with flanges and gaskets and is ready for installation or finishing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003csection class=\"product-faq-snippet\"\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFAQ\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"faq-item\"\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"faq-q\"\u003eQ: Does this reducer include gaskets and hardware?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"faq-a\"\u003eA: Yes — each pair ships with three-bolt flanges and gaskets; bolts may be required separately depending on your setup.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"faq-item\"\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"faq-q\"\u003eQ: Can I weld these reducers to my headers?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"faq-a\"\u003eA: Yes — the stamped steel, natural finish is suitable for welding or custom coating after fitment.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/section\u003e","brand":"Hedman","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48084024066206,"sku":"B000COD2BI","price":68.82,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0781\/2041\/9486\/files\/hedman-collector-reducer-pair-front-view.jpg?v=1785843839","url":"https:\/\/northtrailauto.ca\/products\/hedman-collector-reducer-3-inlet-to-2-5-od-outlet-pair-3-bolt-flange-stamped-steel","provider":"North Trail Auto","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
