LS 1-7/8 Ceramic Coated Mid-Length Headers for 1968-1972 A-Body
Swapping an LS engine into a 1968 to 1972 A Body often hits a roadblock at the header flange but the 1968 to 1972 A Body LS 1 7/8 Ceramic Coated Mid Length Headers deliver exact port alignment and clearance through precision routing. Precision fabricated three eighth inch flanges seal flat against cylinder heads to prevent leaks and endure repeated heat cycles without warping. The silver ceramic finish reflects radiant heat away from wiring and hoses underhood while resisting corrosion in demanding engine bays. A complete hardware kit with gaskets bolts and dowels streamlines installation so you can focus on tuning throttle response instead of chasing parts.
Precision Flange Engineering for Exact Port Alignment
The three eighth inch thick flanges are carefully machined flat to match the cylinder head port surfaces, ensuring a leak free seal under extreme heat cycles. By eliminating the need for grinding or additional spacers, this design guarantees consistent exhaust flow and reduces installation errors. Precise port alignment also preserves vital clearances around the steering linkage and frame rails, preventing interference with suspension or brake components. As a result, you achieve a proper fit from the moment the engine turns over, saving time and eliminating common exhaust leak points.
Durable Stainless Steel Core with Ceramic Coating
Constructed from high quality stainless steel, these headers maintain structural integrity under the intense temperatures of an LS swap environment. The silver ceramic coating reflects radiant heat back into the exhaust stream, lowering under hood temperature and helping to protect nearby wiring and hoses. This barrier also repels moisture, road salt and debris, so the finish resists pitting and corrosion over time. Together, the material and coating deliver lasting durability and reliable performance throughout repeated thermal cycles.
Tailored Tube Diameter for Enhanced Flow and Tone
The 1.875 inch mid length tubes are matched to the LS engine's exhaust pulse characteristics, boosting low rpm torque while still supporting high rpm horsepower gains. Smooth mandrel bends preserve the tube’s cross sectional area and prevent turbulence that can reduce flow. Within the merge collector, exhaust pulses blend in a way that produces a deep muscle car tone without unwanted drone at cruising speed. This balance of power and authentic sound character complements both street driving and track applications.
Complete Hardware Kit for Streamlined Installation
Each header set arrives with all necessary gaskets, bolts and dowels, plus step by step instructions to guide you through the swap. Quality fasteners maintain proper torque under repeated heat cycling, preserving a leak free seal over thousands of miles. By providing every component required, this kit eliminates extra trips to the parts store and reduces time spent hunting for missing hardware. You can focus on tuning throttle response and enjoying the driving experience instead of troubleshooting fitment issues.
Engineered for a precise fit and reliable performance under extreme conditions and built to last.
