1-7/8 Stainless Steel Mid-Length Headers for LS Engine Swaps
The 1-7/8 stainless steel mid length headers are engineered to optimize exhaust flow and simplify fitment during an LS engine swap in classic GM chassis. Constructed from type 304 stainless steel tubing and built with thick flanges, these headers resist corrosion and provide a precise seal under demanding conditions. They include O2 sensor bungs plus a full set of gaskets and bolts, delivering a direct fit to your existing mount kit and reducing assembly time. Installation moves smoothly and yields consistent scavenging across the entire powerband.
Exhaust Flow Dynamics with 1-7/8 Stainless Steel Mid-length Headers
By adopting a 1-7/8 inch primary tube diameter, these mid-length headers drastically improve scavenging at all engine speeds. The specific length of each runner is tuned to reduce back pressure and create a uniform exhaust pulse, leading to a noticeable increase in horsepower and enhanced throttle response. Integrated O2 sensor bungs allow for precise air-fuel ratio monitoring, so you can fine tune the engine performance to match your driving style. This optimized design translates directly into a broader powerband and quicker spool up across the LS engine's rpm range.
304 Stainless Steel Construction for Corrosion Resistance and Sustained Performance
Crafted from premium 304 stainless steel tubing, these headers offer exceptional resistance to rust and oxidation even when exposed to high underhood temperatures. This material maintains structural integrity over time, preventing warping and heat related fatigue that can compromise exhaust sealing. Beyond durability, the polished finish of 304 steel adds a refined look to your engine bay and requires minimal maintenance to preserve its corrosion resistant properties. The result is a product that retains both its performance and appearance in demanding environments.
Thick Flange Design Ensures Leak Free Seal
Each header flange is precision cut to a thickness of three eighths inch, providing a rigid surface that resists distortion under torque. This extra material stiffness helps maintain a consistent seal against the cylinder head gasket, eliminating exhaust leaks that can lead to power loss and noise. By ensuring a stable mounting surface, you also avoid the need for frequent retorquing after heat cycles. The robust flange design delivers a straightforward installation and promotes long term reliability.
Direct Fit Integration for Simplified LS Swaps
Engineered specifically for LS engine conversions, these headers interface seamlessly with the original mount kit hardware. The package includes all necessary gaskets, bolts, and O2 sensor plugs, allowing you to complete the installation without sourcing additional components. This direct fit approach saves time and minimizes alignment challenges that often arise during engine swap projects. As a result, you achieve a precise fit and reliable exhaust path from the outset, accelerating your build process and reducing downtime.
These stainless steel mid-length headers ensure precise fit and long-lasting performance for your LS engine conversion.
