Ceramic Coated 1-7/8-Inch Long Tube Headers for 1971-1976 Impala B-Body
Preparing for an LT engine swap in a 1971 to 1976 Impala B-Body calls for headers that match the chassis and optimize exhaust flow, and these ceramic coated 1 7/8 inch long tubes answer that need with precision. Featuring sturdy 3/8 inch thick flanges, each header set comes with all gaskets and bolts to establish a tight seal on factory ports. The multilayer ceramic finish keeps more heat inside the exhaust path and helps protect surrounding components from excessive heat soak.
Thermal Management with Multiple Ceramic Layers
The 1-7/8-inch long tubes are finished with multiple even layers of ceramic designed to reflect radiant heat back into the exhaust stream. By keeping more energy within the flow path, these headers enhance exhaust scavenging for improved engine efficiency. The ceramic shell also forms a hard, abrasion-resistant barrier that withstands repeated thermal cycles without flaking. As a result, under-hood temperatures are lowered, protecting wiring, hoses, and intake components from excessive heat soak.
Precision CNC-Formed Flanges for Leak-Free Sealing
Each header flange is precision CNC formed to a robust 3/8 inch thickness, matching the factory exhaust port pattern on 1971-1976 Impala B-Body frames. This exacting flange geometry ensures uniform contact against the cylinder head, reducing the risk of warping or misalignment under torque. Included composite gaskets and V-band clamps complete the seal, delivering a joint that remains tight through vibration and thermal expansion. Installers benefit from fewer retorquing cycles, translating into a maintenance-friendly solution.
All-Inclusive Installation Hardware for Streamlined Swaps
Every component required for an LT engine installation is supplied in one coherent package: composite gaskets, high-grade bolts, and V-band clamps. This comprehensive hardware kit removes the guesswork of sourcing individual parts and ensures proper torque applications from the outset. By providing a unified set of components, it reduces installation time, maintains clean engine bay packaging, and helps installers achieve correct fitment with factory-style reliability.
Robust Tubular Design for Long-Term Durability
Constructed from premium mild steel tubing, these long tubes strike the ideal balance between strength and formability. The smooth mandrel bends minimize flow disruptions, promoting unrestricted exhaust velocity. High-quality welds resist fatigue from continuous heat cycles, and the USA-based fabrication standards guarantee consistent material properties across each set. Together, these design choices deliver a durable assembly built to endure both street and track use.
Engineered for precise fit and reliable performance in your Impala B-Body swap.
