1963-1982 Chevy Corvette LS Swap Header
Choosing the right headers for an LS swap in a 1963-1982 Corvette is essential to controlling underhood temperatures and maintaining exhaust flow. These ceramic coated mid length headers feature 1.875 inch primary tubes that cut radiant heat and smooth pulse overlap for richer midrange torque while tuned collector angles preserve the Corvette signature rumble. Solid steel construction with 0.375 inch flanges delivers a leakfree seal and precise alignment with GM mounts for straightforward installation. As a result, underhood temperatures stay lower, torque delivery remains consistent and the finish stands up to repeated heat cycles without degradation.
Solid Steel Bodies with Precision Flange Sealing
Constructed from durable steel these headers maintain rigid form under extreme temperature cycles and constant vibration. Each flange is precisely machined to a uniform 0.375 inch thickness creating a flat surface that resists warping and ensures a tight mechanical seal. That precision seal helps eliminate exhaust leaks that can rob horsepower and torque. By preserving uninterrupted flow paths the assembly supports consistent engine output on both street and track applications.
Ceramic Barrier Coating for Underhood Heat Control
The ceramic coating on the primary tubes establishes an effective thermal barrier that dramatically reduces radiated heat in the engine bay. Lower bay temperatures help maintain cooler intake air density and protect nearby hoses, wiring and sensors from premature deterioration. Its abrasion resistant finish retains insulation properties after repeated heat exposure. The result is stable performance, reduced risk of heat soak and extended component life under demanding driving conditions.
Calibrated Tube Geometry for Torque Enhancement
Featuring 1.875 inch primary tubes engineered for optimal diameter this design balances exhaust gas velocity to enhance midrange torque and throttle response. Carefully matched tube lengths and precisely angled collectors smooth pulse overlap to produce a refined exhaust note that still echoes the classic Corvette character. This tuning delivers an engaging driving experience by blending stronger power delivery with the iconic growl expected from a first-generation Corvette swap.
Direct Fit Mounting for Seamless LS Integration
These headers align directly with GM mounts on 1963 to 1982 Corvette frames, eliminating the need for adapter kits or custom fabrication. Included gaskets and hardware simplify assembly and reduce installation time, while the exact alignment with cylinder head ports ensures leak-free performance from the first startup. This straightforward fitment approach minimizes labor and supports reliable exhaust flow, making LS engine swaps more efficient and repeatable for every build.
Built for exact fitment and consistent performance throughout your LS swap, these headers deliver reliable torque gains and maintain underhood temperatures in check.
