Ceramic Coated 1-7/8-Inch Mid-Length LS Headers
Swapping an LS powerplant into a 1971 through 1976 B Body demands headers that navigate narrow frame rails while maintaining efficient exhaust flow. These ceramic coated mid length 1.875 inch primaries follow factory mounting points to optimize gas scavenging and preserve necessary ground clearance under suspension components. A durable finish helps lower underhood heat and protects against corrosion during extended street or track use. Installation is straightforward with stock bolt patterns and an included gasket set for a reliable seal from the first start.
Robust Stainless Steel Construction
These headers are fabricated from premium stainless steel chosen for its tensile strength and natural resistance to rust under repeated heating and cooling cycles. Each primary tube undergoes full mandrel bending to preserve a uniform interior shape, preventing restrictions that can hamper gas flow or cause turbulence. The use of heavy three eighths inch thick flanges secures a perfectly flat surface against the cylinder head, reducing the risk of warping even when subjected to high exhaust temperatures. By combining durable materials with precise fabrication, these components maintain structural integrity and reliable performance throughout thousands of driving miles.
Optimized Tube Diameter and Flow Routing
At a precise 1.875 inch diameter, the primary tubes strike an ideal balance between exhaust velocity and volume for LS engines. This sizing enhances scavenging of spent gases, unlocking gains in both low end torque and high rpm horsepower without sacrificing ground clearance. The moderate length routing follows factory mounting points closely, navigating tight frame rails and suspension parts to avoid interference. Each curve is heat treated and mandrel formed to eliminate pinching, ensuring consistent flow under load and allowing the engine to breathe more freely across the entire rpm range.
Advanced Ceramic Coating for Temperature and Corrosion Control
A durable ceramic layer is applied evenly across every tube to reflect radiant heat away from the engine compartment, helping protect surrounding wiring and intake components. This finish also seals the steel substrate against moisture, road salt, and other corrosive elements, preserving the smooth interior surface that supports consistent exhaust flow. Over time, the coating resists cracking or flaking, so thermal performance remains stable across thousands of heat cycles. In daily driving or track use, the reduction in underhood temperatures contributes to more predictable tuning and bolstered component life.
Reliable Fitment and Leak Free Sealing
Designed to match the stock LS bolt pattern exactly, these headers install without frame trimming or custom brackets, simplifying the swap process and minimizing shop time. A complete set of gaskets and high grade fasteners is included to ensure a leak free seal from the moment of first startup. The precision matched hardware and thick flange faces eliminate exhaust leaks that could erode torque or introduce unwanted noise. This straightforward approach lets builders focus on tuning and driving rather than wrestling with fitment hurdles.
Built for a precise fit and reliable performance throughout every stage of your LS swap.
