Ceramic Coated 1-7/8-Inch LS Long Tube Headers for 1964-1967 A-Body
Swapping an LS engine into a first generation A-body chassis often leads to tight subframe and steering geometry conflicts, and these 1-7/8 inch ceramic coated long tube headers are designed to navigate those constraints while directing exhaust gases efficiently. Featuring CNC formed tubes and thick 3/8 inch flanges, they ensure precise port matching and a reliable leak resistant seal under repeated thermal cycles. Installation hardware such as V band clamps and gaskets is included to simplify setup and preserve clean engine bay packaging. Crafted from premium mild steel with a durable ceramic finish, this header maintains lower underhood temperatures and promotes better scavenging for consistent power delivery.
Precision Port Matching for Leak Free Sealing
These long tube headers are CNC formed to mirror factory exhaust ports with exacting accuracy, ensuring each of the 1 7/8 inch tubes mates cleanly against the engine block. The robust 3/8 inch flanges maintain consistent pressure across the surface, eliminating misalignment that can lead to exhaust leaks under vibration or thermal cycling. When used with the supplied V band clamps, the Seal-4-Good gaskets and high-grade fasteners form a uniform seal that holds firm as temperatures fluctuate. Installers benefit from reduced retightening and a reliable joint that stands up to spirited driving and track conditions.
Advanced Ceramic Finish Controls Under Hood Temperatures
The silver ceramic coating applied in multiple layers creates a hard shell that reflects radiant heat back into the exhaust stream, cutting down on under hood temperatures. By keeping more energy within the tubes, exhaust gases flow with greater velocity and support improved scavenging across the rpm range. This thermal barrier also protects nearby components from heat soak, extending the life of wiring, hoses and intake parts. Its abrasion-resistant surface resists chipping even after repeated thermal cycles, preserving both appearance and performance.
Solid Steel Tubes with TIG Weld Integrity
Crafted from premium mild steel, the header tubes balance strength and formability to withstand extreme temperature swings without cracking. The smooth interior transitions minimize turbulence, promoting efficient exhaust evacuation and helping the engine breathe more freely. All joints are welded using a TIG process that lays down consistent beads with deep penetration, reducing stress concentrations and resisting fatigue over time. Combined, these features deliver a durable assembly built to handle daily driving and extended track use.
Dedicated Installation Kit for Streamlined Fitment
To simplify setup and maintain a tidy engine bay, this header package includes V band clamps, Seal-4-Good gaskets and hardware necessary for a complete install. V band connections offer a compact footprint that clears tight steering and subframe areas common in first generation A-bodies. The precision fit of supplied components reduces trial-and-error during alignment, cutting installation time and helping enthusiasts achieve factory-style packaging. As a result, swap projects proceed smoothly and leave the engine presentation as clean as it performs.
Designed to maintain optimal flow and durability in tight engine bays.
