1965-1970 B-body LS Ceramic Coated 1-7/8 Inch Long Tube Headers
When embarking on an LS swap in a 1965 to 1970 B-body, these one and seven eighths inch ceramic coated long tube headers are engineered to solve both fitment and flow challenges. Each primary lines up precisely with LS exhaust ports and seals against the head flange to prevent leaks and reduce installation time. The ceramic finish retains heat within the tubes to keep engine bay temperatures lower and maintain consistent throttle response. With precision mild steel construction and three eighths inch thick flanges, this design stays rigid under high exhaust temperatures and vibration.
One and Seven Eighths Inch Tube Design Enhancing Exhaust Scavenging
The one and seven eighths inch primary tubes strike the ideal balance between exhaust velocity and flow, promoting stronger scavenging at all engine speeds. By matching each tube precisely to the LS exhaust ports, this design reduces turbulence and back pressure for sharper throttle response. Smooth bends and consistent diameters help maintain exhaust gas momentum, which translates to more power across the rev range. This tuned geometry also prevents hotspots and uneven flow that can rob low-end torque.
Steel Construction and Thick Flange Precision Seal
Crafted from premium mild steel, these headers offer exceptional toughness under the high heat and vibration of LS applications. The three eighths inch thick flanges provide a rigid sealing surface that resists warping and keeps exhaust gases contained. A sturdy flange also helps maintain uniform back pressure, ensuring reliable performance from idle through redline. The material's formability enables precise tube fitment without compromising strength.
Ceramic Coating for Effective Heat Management
The ceramic coating acts as a thermal barrier, reflecting radiant heat inward to keep engine bay temperatures lower. Cooler under-hood conditions help protect sensitive components and preserve intake density for consistent power delivery. The finish also shields the steel from oxidation and road-borne debris, extending service life through repeated thermal cycles. This durable coating remains intact over time, maintaining both function and appearance.
Integrated V Band Collector for Leak Free Connection
The built-in v band collector streamlines installation by using a single clamp to join the header to your exhaust system. Uniform clamping pressure around the flared outlet creates a tight seal without bulky gaskets or multiple fasteners. This approach not only simplifies removal for maintenance but also minimizes flow disruptions, preserving throttle response. Fast, secure connections mean fewer leaks and more reliable operation on the road or track.
These headers provide a precise fit and consistent exhaust flow for confident performance in your B-body LS swap.
