Polished Stainless Steel LT Intake Manifold for 1973-1982 Corvette and 1955-1957 Chevy
When fitting an LT motor into a 1973-1982 Corvette or a 1955-1957 Chevy, polished stainless steel swap exhaust manifolds solve tight clearance issues and deliver smooth exhaust routing for improved performance. Each manifold is precision formed for heat tolerance and includes a 2.5 inch outlet diameter and a tight tuck layout that supports optimized exhaust flow. An all-in-one kit comes with welding flanges, bolts and gaskets so you can complete your engine swap with confidence.
Robust Stainless Steel Construction and Polished Finish
Crafted from high grade stainless steel, these manifolds withstand extreme thermal cycles and maintain structural integrity. The polished finish not only brings a refined look but also improves corrosion resistance and simplifies cleaning after track days. By reflecting radiant heat away from nearby engine bay components, the polished surfaces help reduce under hood temperatures and preserve adjacent hoses and wiring. This combination of material and finish ensures long term durability even under strenuous driving conditions.
Optimized Exhaust Routing for Peak Power and Torque
The innovative tight tuck design positions the runners close to the block, creating a compact footprint that clears frame rails on classic Corvette and Chevy chassis. Matched with generous 2.5 inch outlets, the layout reduces back pressure and enhances exhaust scavenging through the catalytic converter, translating into smoother torque delivery at low rpm and solid power gains at high engine speeds. Runners are tuned to balance flow and heat retention, helping maintain exhaust gas velocity for more efficient cylinder emptying under load. This precise routing supports power levels up to 500 horsepower without compromising drivability.
Comprehensive Kit for Seamless LT Engine Integration
Every set ships complete with custom welding flanges, gaskets and grade 8 bolts to streamline the swap process and eliminate the need for aftermarket adapters. Manifolds arrive ready to tack weld directly to your LT head, reducing fitment headaches and saving valuable shop hours. The universal design ensures a direct fit on 1973 to 1982 Corvette and 1955 to 1957 Chevy models, offering a drop in solution that works with popular intake and accessory packages. Whether you are a professional builder or a seasoned DIY enthusiast, this kit provides all the hardware needed to finalize your installation with confidence.
Engineered for a precise fit and reliable performance in your LT project.
