1970-1972 Monte Carlo LS 1-7/8 Ceramic Coated Long Tube Headers
If you're taking on an LS engine swap in a classic 1970-1972 Monte Carlo these 1-7/8 Ceramic Coated Long Tube Headers deliver the precise fit needed to clear factory frame rails and streamline exhaust flow. Constructed from thick mild steel and finished with a ceramic coating they resist corrosion and manage temperatures underhood during spirited runs. Installation is straightforward thanks to forgiving flange tolerances and included hardware that ensures a leakproof seal without hours of trial and error.
Precision Alignment for LS Engine Integration
The precision-fit geometry of these headers is engineered to match the factory frame rails of the 1970-1972 Monte Carlo, ensuring that the LS engine mounts align without trial and error. By maintaining tight tolerances across each primary tube, the design minimizes stress on exhaust ports and gaskets, reducing the chance of leaks or misalignment over time. This exact match to chassis dimensions also cuts down on installation time, letting enthusiasts move directly to tuning and testing rather than fabricating custom adapters. The result is a streamlined swap process that delivers reliable performance from day one.
Advanced Thermal Control via Ceramic Finish
The proprietary ceramic coating serves as a thermal barrier, reflecting heat back into the exhaust gas stream and lowering underhood temperatures. This containment of radiant heat helps protect wiring, hoses, and intake components from premature aging and potential heat soak. Additionally, by retaining exhaust gas warmth, the headers promote faster scavenging and improved torque response at lower rpm ranges. Over spirited driving sessions, this thermal management capability translates into more consistent power delivery and reduced heat cycling on neighboring engine parts.
Durable Mild Steel Construction and Flange Design
Manufactured from thick gauge mild steel, these headers offer exceptional resilience to vibration and road shock, crucial for a muscle car chassis. Each flange is 3/8 inch thick and machined flat to create a uniform sealing surface, virtually eliminating warped or uneven contact points that can lead to exhaust leaks. The robust steel construction also withstands the cyclical expansion and contraction of high-temperature operation, ensuring long-term structural integrity. This combination of material strength and precision machining secures a stable, leak proof joint throughout the engine's power band.
Streamlined Installation with V Band Clamps and Gaskets
Every kit includes V band clamps and Seal-4-Good gaskets engineered to simplify collector connection and maintain a tight seal under fluctuating temperatures. V band clamps allow for quick disassembly and reassembly when servicing or swapping components, while the high-density gaskets conform to both the collector and mating flange for consistent sealing pressure. These components work in tandem to eliminate exhaust leaks without the need for custom welding or complex fitting. As a result, installers can finish the swap with confidence that all joints will hold firm under high boost or heavy load scenarios.
Engineered for a precise fit and high-flow performance, these headers deliver consistent and reliable operation on every run.
