1-7/8 Ceramic Coated Mid-Length LS Headers for 1975-1979 X-Body
When swapping an LS motor into a GM X-Body from 1975 through 1979, tight exhaust clearance and underhood heat can stall a project without the right headers. The 1975-1979 X-Body LS 1-7/8 Ceramic Coated Mid-Length Headers deliver precisely shaped 1.875 inch primary tubes that improve exhaust flow and sustain torque gains through the entire rev range. A silver ceramic coating traps heat inside each tube to help maintain lower engine bay temperatures and resists corrosion for lasting durability. Their flange geometry and tube routing clear common chassis obstacles without cutting and produce a bold classic exhaust note that turns heads.
Optimized Exhaust Flow with 1.875 Inch Primary Tubes
The precisely shaped 1.875 inch primary tubes are sized to enhance exhaust scavenging, allowing spent gases to evacuate more efficiently from the combustion chamber. This improvement translates into smoother torque delivery and measurable horsepower gains throughout the entire RPM range. By maintaining consistent flow velocity, these headers help prevent the common midrange flat spots that can undermine throttle response. The design also balances equal tube length to ensure that no cylinder overpowers another, resulting in a more linear power curve under acceleration.
Ceramic Coating for Heat Control and Durability
The silver ceramic layer applied to each tube serves as a thermal barrier, trapping heat inside the header walls and reducing underhood temperatures. Lower bay heat not only protects wiring and intake components but also helps maintain air density for better combustion efficiency. Additionally, the coating forms a corrosion-resistant shield that inhibits rust formation, keeping the header surface intact session after session. This protective finish extends the service life of the headers while preserving their appearance under high-heat conditions.
Precision Flange and Mid Length Routing for Effortless Installation
Each flange is machined from thick steel plate and measures 3/8 inch in thickness to guarantee a reliable, leak-free seal against the cylinder head. The mid length routing is purpose-built for classic X-Body frames, clearing common chassis structures without requiring frame modifications or complex ceramic blanket wrap jobs. This careful tube geometry ensures that installation remains straightforward, cutting down on both labor time and potential fitment headaches. Combined, these attributes deliver a seamless LS engine swap experience on 1975-1979 X-Body vehicles.
Built for a precise fit and durable performance these headers ensure a seamless LS swap on your classic X-Body.
