LS 1-7/8 Ceramic Coated Long Tube Headers for 1970-1981 F-Body Camaro/Firebird
Tackling an LS swap in a 1970-1981 F-body Camaro or Firebird often brings tight clearances and heat build-up to the forefront which is precisely why the 1970-1981 F-Body LS 1-7/8 Ceramic Coated Long Tube Headers were engineered. Each header uses 1-7/8 inch tubes formed from mild steel and coated in ceramic to keep underhood temperatures in check while improving exhaust scavenging for stronger midrange torque. Bolted together with 3/8 inch flanges and V-band collectors these headers deliver a secure, leak-free connection on LS1 through LS9 installations.
Precision Fit Simplifies F-Body LS Engine Swaps
Crafted specifically for 1970-1981 F-Body Camaro and Firebird chassis, these headers match factory mounting points to eliminate trial and error during installation. The exact contour of each tube aligns with exhaust ports, ensuring that no trimming or relocation of brackets is required. As a result, installation time is reduced and the risk of misalignment that could cause leaks or premature failure is minimized. Technicians and enthusiasts benefit from a streamlined swap process, translating to instant confidence as soon as the first bolt is tightened.
Ceramic Coating Preserves Underhood Temperatures
The application of a ceramic finish on 1-7/8 inch mild steel tubes effectively traps heat within the exhaust stream, preventing excessive thermal transfer to surrounding engine components. By maintaining cooler underhood conditions, this coating helps preserve wiring harnesses, intake manifolds and sensitive electronics. At the same time, it promotes consistent exhaust velocity for improved scavenging and stronger midrange torque. Long term, this finish slows oxidation and wall thinning, contributing to a durable exhaust solution under demanding driving cycles.
Rigidity and Seal Integrity with Thick Flanges and V Band Collectors
These headers feature 3/8 inch thick flanges that resist warping under heat cycles, ensuring a flat mating surface against engine ports. Combined with V band clamps in the collector region, they create a tight seal that resists leaks caused by thermal expansion and vibration. This design maintains uniform backpressure and prevents gas seepage that can sap power or cause hot spots. End users will notice consistent performance and the peace of mind that comes from a leak free connection throughout the rpm range.
Engineered for a precise fit and reliable performance.
