Ceramic Coated Mid-Length LS Headers for 1968-1972 A-Body
Swapping an LS motor into a 1968 through 1972 A Body chassis often means wrestling with tight frame rails and exhaust clearance constraints that can slow a swap project. The 1968 through 1972 A Body LS 1-7/8-inch ceramic coated headers are sculpted to follow factory mount points and promote efficient scavenging for noticeable gains across the torque curve. Stainless steel tubes with full mandrel bends preserve internal shape under repeated heat cycles and the ceramic finish helps keep underhood temperatures in check while fending off corrosion. Installation requires only basic tools since the stock bolt pattern matches block ports and the included gasket set delivers a reliable, leak free seal on initial startup.
Precision Steel Construction for Enduring Strength
The headers are formed from premium stainless steel that offers exceptional tensile strength and resistance to corrosion under repeated temperature cycles. Full mandrel bends in each primary tube preserve a constant internal diameter, ensuring exhaust pulses flow without turbulence or backpressure spikes. Robust three eighths inch thick flanges provide a perfectly flat mating surface against the cylinder head, reducing the risk of warping and maintaining a reliable seal under high stress. This careful engineering prevents leaks that can sap torque and eliminates the need for frequent retightening. Taken together, these elements deliver a component built to withstand years of spirited driving without compromise.
Advanced Ceramic Finish for Heat Control and Protection
A uniform ceramic coating envelops every exhaust tube to reflect radiant heat away from the engine bay, lowering underhood temperatures and helping safeguard wiring, hoses, and intake components. This barrier also seals the steel substrate against moisture and road salts, slowing corrosion and preserving the smooth interior wall that supports consistent flow. The hard surface sheds grime easily, so a simple wipe keeps the headers looking fresh and free of buildup. By maintaining stable thermal characteristics, the coating ensures that scavenging efficiency remains unchanged over thousands of heat cycles. In practical terms, drivers see sustained gains in power and reliability without extra maintenance.
Optimized Tube Diameter and Routing for Peak LS Output
Primary tubes measure a precise 1.875 inch in diameter, striking an ideal balance between gas velocity and exhaust volume for LS engines. This carefully selected sizing improves scavenging of spent gases, unlocking increases in both torque and horsepower across the mid and upper rpm ranges. The mid length routing follows factory mount points and navigates tight frame rails, preserving necessary ground clearance and eliminating interference with suspension components. Each bend is heat treated and mandrel formed to avoid crimping, ensuring that flow efficiency is maintained under load. The result is a set of headers that delivers measurable performance gains without fitment headaches.
Factory Fit and Included Hardware for Straightforward Installation
These headers match the stock LS bolt pattern exactly, so no frame trimming or custom brackets are required to mount them. A comprehensive gasket kit and high grade bolts are supplied, allowing assembly with nothing more than basic hand tools. Thick flanges and matched hardware create a leak free seal from the first startup, cutting down on shop time and eliminating exhaust noise or performance losses. This straightforward approach reduces installation complexity and lets enthusiasts focus on tuning and driving rather than fitment issues. In the end, you get a reliable system that integrates seamlessly into your A Body chassis.
Designed for a precise fit and reliable performance these headers give you confidence in your LS swap build.
