1-7/8 Stainless Steel Mid-Length LS Headers for 1970-1981 Camaro/Firebird and 1975-1979 Nova/Ventura
Swapping an LS engine into a 1970s Camaro can overwhelm factory manifolds with turbulence and heat and the 1-7/8 Stainless Steel Mid-Length Headers solve that by optimizing exhaust scavenging from the cylinder head onward. Built from premium 304 stainless steel with flanges that measure 3/8 inch thick they resist corrosion while ensuring a leak free seal under high exhaust temperatures. Integrated oxygen sensor bungs speed up tuning by fitting directly to existing harnesses without adapters. Installation requires no frame alterations and bolts to factory ports on 1970 to 1981 Camaro/Firebird and 1975 to 1979 Nova/Ventura chassis for a precise fit.
Premium 304 Stainless Steel Construction
Built from 304 stainless steel, these headers resist corrosion and maintain structural strength even under extreme heat. The alloy offers exceptional oxidation resistance, preventing pitting and discoloration over time. By using premium grade metal, the design withstands chemical exposure from engine byproducts and wet road conditions. The result is a durable exhaust component that preserves appearance and function for years.
1-7/8 Inch Tubing for Enhanced Exhaust Flow
The generous 1-7/8 inch diameter of each primary tube is engineered to optimize scavenging and reduce back pressure on LS engines. Increased cross-sectional area improves the velocity of exhaust gas exiting the cylinder head, translating to better cylinder evacuation and higher horsepower potential. This careful sizing balances low-end torque with top-end power, making it ideal for both street driving and track use. Drivers will notice smoother acceleration and a more responsive throttle feel.
Precision Flange Engineering for Reliable Sealing
Flanges measuring three eighths of an inch deliver a robust sealing surface against the cylinder head, ensuring a tight fit without distortion under load. The added thickness maintains flatness when torqued, reducing the likelihood of exhaust leaks caused by thermal cycling. This focus on flange integrity protects gasket life and holds up over repeated heat expansion and contraction. Installers benefit from a consistent mating surface that minimizes alignment issues during assembly.
Integrated Oxygen Sensor Bungs for Streamlined Tuning
Each header includes built-in oxygen sensor bungs that accept factory style sensors directly, eliminating the need for adapters or custom relocation. Precise placement of the bungs aligns the sensors with exhaust pulses, ensuring accurate air-fuel ratio readings during tuning. This integration simplifies the installation process and reduces potential leak points from additional fittings. As a result, engine calibration is faster and more precise, helping users unlock the full performance of their LS swap.
Designed from premium 304 stainless steel, these headers resist corrosion and deliver a precise seal for dependable performance in your LS swap.
