1968-1972 A-Body 1-7/8 Ceramic Coated Mid-Length LS Headers
When swapping an LS powerplant into a 1968 through 1972 A Body chassis, tight clearances around the frame rails and suspension demand a smart exhaust path and these 1 7/8 inch ceramic coated mid length headers deliver precision routing without interference. Precision bent 1 7/8 inch diameter tubes follow chassis lines for clearance around suspension components and deliver balanced exhaust flow through the rev range. A silver ceramic coating on each tube retains radiant heat in the exhaust stream to cut underhood temperatures and guard surrounding parts. Thick 3/8 inch steel flanges are machined flat for a dependable seal and reduce installation time by matching LS head bolt patterns, and rugged tube construction stands up to daily driving demands or track sessions.
Precision Fit for 1968 through 1972 A Body LS Conversion
The header tubes are mandrel bent with exacting attention to the chassis contours of 1968 through 1972 A Body frames, ensuring clearance around frame rails and suspension components without the need for modification. This custom geometry aligns perfectly with LS cylinder head bolt patterns, reducing setup time and guaranteeing a true bolt-in installation. By maintaining consistent center-to-center spacing, stress loads are distributed evenly along the head flange, preserving gasket integrity under repeated thermal cycles. Installers benefit from a design that matches factory dimensions, so there is no guesswork when fitting these headers alongside existing engine mounts and steering linkages.
Silver Ceramic Coating for Under Hood Heat Control
Each tube is finished in a reflective silver ceramic shell that holds exhaust heat within the primary runner, effectively lowering temperatures in the engine bay and protecting sensitive components. By retaining radiant energy in the gas flow, scavenging is improved at mid and upper engine speeds, helping maintain strong torque response through the rev range. The ceramic surface also resists abrasive deposits and prevents scale buildup, preserving a clean appearance over time. This coating delivers both functional thermal management and a polished look that enhances any LS swap build.
Durable Steel Flanges for Reliable Exhaust Sealing
Thick 3/8 inch steel flanges are precision machined flat to eliminate warpage and ensure perfect contact with the LS cylinder head ports. This increased flange thickness creates uniform gasket compression, preventing exhaust leaks even under high manifold pressures and repeated heating. Precision machining of the flange face and port openings ensures each header aligns exactly with the head pattern, negating alignment shims or flange spacers. The robust flange construction provides a rock-solid seal that withstands daily driving demands and spirited track use alike.
Engineered Tube Diameter and Mid Length Design for Balanced Power Delivery
With 1 7/8 inch primary tubes and a mid length profile, these headers strike the ideal compromise between low speed torque and high rpm horsepower for street and strip applications. The chosen diameter supports pulse tuning to optimize scavenging without sacrificing top-end flow, delivering responsive throttle feel from idle through redline. Constructed of high-quality steel and assembled with precision welds, the tubes resist cracking under thermal stress and maintain performance over time. The result is a set of headers engineered to deliver consistent power across the rpm band while fitting neatly within the tight confines of the A Body engine bay.
