Ceramic Coated 1-7/8 Long Tube Headers for 1973-1987 2WD Trucks
Swapping a modern LS engine into a 1973 to 1987 two wheel drive truck often reveals tight fitment issues around the exhaust ports and limits optimum scavenging. LS engine swaps demand headers that clear frame rails and mounting brackets while maintaining smooth flow and heat control. Featuring 1 7/8 inch tubes and silver ceramic coating these headers manage exhaust heat and resistance loss for reliable performance. Precision milled flanges and included V band clamps ensure a reliable seal to prevent leaks and simplify installation.
Precision Fit for LS Engine and Mount Kit Alignment
The precision milled flanges and tailored tube routing guarantee clearance around frame rails and brackets for 1973 to 1987 two wheel drive trucks. This exacting fit reduces installation time by eliminating the need for manual adjustments and custom bending. It also ensures that exhaust ports align perfectly with the cylinder head, preserving equal pulse timing and improving flow consistency. The result is smoother throttle response and a swap process that stays focused on performance gains rather than fitment issues.
Advanced Ceramic Finish for Heat Control
The silver ceramic coated surface creates an insulating barrier that keeps exhaust heat inside the headers, cutting under hood temperatures and protecting nearby wiring and hoses. Temperature control at the header allows the engine to maintain cooler intake charge, which can improve combustion efficiency and steady power delivery. In addition to its thermal properties, the coating resists corrosion and surface wear, helping the headers retain their finish and structural integrity over time.
Optimized 1 7/8 Inch Tubes for Enhanced Exhaust Scavenging
The 1 7/8 inch primary tubes are sized to balance gas velocity and flow capacity for LS engines, promoting efficient scavenging at mid to high rpm ranges. By tuning the tube length and diameter, these headers harness pressure waves that pull spent gases from the cylinder, reducing back pressure and improving volumetric efficiency. This translates into measurable horsepower gains and a more responsive throttle feel across the power band. Racing inspired design principles make every exhaust pulse work harder in your favor.
Secure V Band Collector and Flanges for Leak Free Seal
The robust three eighths inch thick flanges maintain flatness even under heavy clamping, preventing exhaust leaks that can undermine performance. At the collector, the V band clamp connection offers a uniform compression surface for a tight, durable seal without the hassle of multiple fasteners. This arrangement simplifies installation and makes removal easier for maintenance or upgrades. Installers will appreciate the straightforward clamp system, which delivers reliable performance day after day.
