LS 1-7/8 Ceramic Coated Mid-Length Headers for F-Body
If your 1970-1981 F-Body is receiving an LS swap you need headers that match the powertrain's potential. Engineered to deliver balanced exhaust flow through 1-7/8 inch primary tubes while reflecting heat away from the engine bay these headers maintain cooler underhood temperatures. Setup only requires bolt on flanges that align with factory mounting points for a straightforward installation. Even under heavy load they prevent leaks and preserve consistent torque and horsepower delivery.
Exact LS Swap Fit with 3/8 Inch Thick Flanges
The headers are engineered with 3/8 inch thick flanges that match factory mounting points on 1970 to 1981 F-Body chassis, ensuring a leak free seal right out of the box. This precise fit is critical when integrating an LS engine into a classic frame, as it maintains consistent exhaust pressure and prevents torque dips under load. By aligning directly with stock bolt patterns, the design minimizes stress on both the engine and the header, reducing the risk of warping over time. The rigid flange assembly also helps preserve gasket integrity, which is essential for reliable performance on daily drives or track sessions.
Steel Construction with Ceramic Coating for Superior Thermal Management
Constructed from durable steel, these headers combine strength with weight efficiency to handle the demands of an LS powerplant. The ceramic coating acts as a heat resistant barrier, reflecting a significant portion of radiant energy back into the exhaust path and away from the engine bay. This thermal management approach lowers underhood temperatures, protecting wiring harnesses, hoses, and intake components from heat soak. Over repeated use, the coating also shields the steel surface from corrosion and thermal fatigue, extending the service life of the headers under demanding conditions.
Engineered 1 7/8 Inch Primary Tubes to Boost Exhaust Flow
The generous 1 7/8 inch primary tube diameter is optimized for the torque and horsepower characteristics of LS engines, delivering more efficient exhaust scavenging across the rpm band. By keeping tube sizing and length consistent, the headers promote even pulse timing, which translates into smoother power delivery and a broader torque curve. This design reduces back pressure and maximizes the engine's breathing capability, especially in the midrange where drivers often seek strong acceleration. The result is a noticeable improvement in throttle response and overall engine efficiency.
Streamlined Bolt on Installation Process for DIY Enthusiasts
Installation is simplified with a bolt on approach that uses existing holes in the frame and engine block, meaning no modifications or special tools are required. Each set includes gaskets and bolts to get you running quickly, and compatibility with popular mount kits ensures a complete setup in one package. This user friendly process translates to less time in the garage and more time on the road or track, while still delivering professional level results. Even first time builders will appreciate the clear alignment and straightforward assembly steps.
These headers offer reliable performance and a precise fit for your LS swap.
