1-7/8 Ceramic Coated Mid-Length LS Headers for 1968-1972 A-Body
Tackling an LS engine swap in a 1968 to 1972 A Body often runs into tight clearances and port misalignment but these 1968 to 1972 A Body LS 1 7/8 Ceramic Coated Mid Length Headers solve both with precision routing and strength. Their ceramic finish reflects heat away from underhood wiring and hoses while the three eighth inch flanges seal flat against LS cylinder heads to prevent leaks during repeated heat cycles. Mandrel bends maintain a constant tube diameter to optimize exhaust pulse flow for stronger low rpm torque and deliver a rich muscle car tone without drone. Complete gaskets bolts and dowels streamline installation so you can keep your focus on tuning throttle response instead of hunting for parts.
Precision Flange Design Ensuring Leak Free Sealing
The three eighth inch thick flanges are machined flat to match the LS port surfaces, delivering a reliable seal without the need for grinding or shimming. This exact fit prevents exhaust leaks under repeated heat cycles while preserving critical clearances around steering and suspension components. By eliminating alignment errors, the design reduces installation time and ensures consistent performance from startup through extended runs. Proper flange contact also protects against warping and gasket failure, so exhaust gas stays contained for efficient cylinder scavenging.
Ceramic Coated Steel for Effective Heat Management
Constructed from high quality steel with a silver ceramic coating, these headers reflect radiant heat back into the exhaust stream instead of allowing it to build under the hood. This barrier keeps wiring, hoses, and sensors cooler, reducing risk of heat related failures in tight engine bays. The finish also resists moisture and road debris, preventing corrosion and pitting over thousands of miles. Together, steel strength and ceramic protection deliver a resilient system that maintains integrity in demanding conditions.
Mandrel Bent Tubes Optimized for Throttle Response
The 1.875 inch mid length tubes are formed with mandrel bends that preserve internal cross section for smooth gas flow. This geometry enhances exhaust pulse velocity at low rpm, boosting torque and throttle response for everyday driving. At higher engine speeds, efficient scavenging supports additional horsepower gains without sacrificing a deep muscle car tone. The balanced design produces an aggressive exhaust note without drone, making it ideal for both street cruising and occasional track use.
Comprehensive Hardware Kit Streamlining Installation Workflow
All required gaskets, bolts and dowels arrive with clear installation instructions to eliminate trips to the parts store. Each fastener is chosen for high temperature durability and retains torque under thermal expansion, ensuring a leak free seal over the long term. Including every component in one package reduces downtime and frustration during an LS swap, so you can focus on engine tuning instead of tracking down missing pieces. The result is a faster installation and a reliable connection between block and exhaust.
Engineered for a precise fit and lasting performance in your LS swap.
