1-7/8 Ceramic Coated LS Mid-Length Headers for 1975-1979 X-Body
Swapping an LS powerplant into a 1975-1979 X-Body introduces clearance conflicts under the hood and excess heat that demand a tailored exhaust solution. Equipped with 1.875 inch primary tubes, these mid-length headers deliver smoother scavenging and maintain torque across the rev range. The silver ceramic coating acts as a thermal barrier to trap heat inside the tubes and reduce bay temperatures for consistent performance. Their flange geometry and tube routing clear common chassis obstacles without any frame modifications while 3/8 inch thick flanges seal tightly against the head to prevent leaks.
Streamlined Exhaust Scavenging with 1.875 Inch Primary Tubes
The 1.875 inch diameter primary tubes are carefully contoured to optimize exhaust scavenging, ensuring spent gases evacuate the combustion chambers more effectively. This efficient flow pattern translates into smoother torque delivery and noticeable horsepower gains across the full RPM range. By preserving velocity consistency, these headers help eliminate midrange flat spots that can compromise throttle response. Equal tube length design ensures no cylinder dominates another, resulting in balanced power output under acceleration.
High Temperature Ceramic Coating for Lower Bay Heat
The applied silver ceramic layer acts as a thermal barrier, retaining heat within the tubing walls and significantly reducing engine compartment temperatures. Cooler underhood conditions help protect surrounding components and maintain intake air density for improved combustion efficiency. The coating also resists corrosion, preserving the header's finish and structural integrity over time. This dual-purpose finish delivers both functional heat control and long service life.
Robust Flange Construction for a Leak Free Seal
Each flange is precision machined from steel and measures 3/8 inch thick to guarantee a reliable seal against the cylinder head. This robust thickness provides exceptional resistance to warping under thermal stress, ensuring consistent gasket compression. The result is a dependable, leak free connection that minimizes noise and prevents performance-robbing exhaust leaks. The solid flange design also simplifies alignment during assembly for a smoother installation experience.
Chassis Optimized Mid Length Routing for Easy Installation
Engineered specifically for the 1975-1979 X-Body platform, the mid length layout clears common frame and suspension components without requiring chassis modifications. Tailored tube geometry streamlines installation, cutting down on labor time and reducing the need for additional heat shielding or blanket wraps. This precise fitment ensures a hassle-free engine swap and delivers a classic exhaust tone that enhances the driving experience while preserving underhood space.
Engineered for a precise fit and built to endure intense heat for reliable performance.
