1955-1957 Chevy LS Mid-Length Ceramic Coated Headers
When installing an LS powerplant into a 1955-1957 Chevy, exhaust clearance and alignment can make or break your build and these 1-7/8 ceramic coated headers are engineered to solve that exact challenge. Each set features ceramic coated headers with a silver finish that curbs underhood heat and shields nearby wiring and intake parts while the 3/8 inch flanges seal firmly to prevent leaks. With tubes tuned to guide gases smoothly through the frame rails and a complete gasket and bolt kit included, this header set delivers a precise fit and consistent output for any LS swap.
Ceramic Coating for Underhood Heat Management
The silver ceramic layer on these headers creates a durable barrier that limits heat transfer into the engine bay. By reflecting radiant heat back into the exhaust stream, it helps maintain lower temperatures around wiring, hoses, and intake components. This coating also resists corrosion and surface degradation, extending the life of the header set in demanding conditions. With reduced underhood temperatures, you benefit from stable performance and greater protection for critical engine bay systems.
Mid Length Tube Design Enhances Exhaust Flow
Featuring 1-7/8 inch diameter tubes in a mid length layout, this design strikes a balance between gas velocity and backpressure for the LS motor. The carefully calculated tube lengths improve scavenging effect, delivering measurable gains in both horsepower and torque across the rpm range. Smooth transitions guide exhaust pulses efficiently through the frame rails, smoothing out the torque curve and eliminating flat spots during acceleration. This optimized flow path contributes to both daily drivability and spirited performance.
Precision Steel Flanges for Reliable Sealing
Built from high grade steel with flanges machined to a consistent 3/8 inch thickness, these headers resist warping under repeated heat cycles. The accurately ground flange surfaces ensure a leak proof joint against the cylinder head, preventing power loss and unwanted exhaust noise. This solid seal also protects nearby components from exhaust gas intrusion, maintaining engine bay cleanliness. Over time, the robust steel construction delivers consistent fitment and performance in all driving scenarios.
Comprehensive Hardware Kit for Streamlined Installation
Each header set includes application specific gaskets and mounting bolts designed for a direct fit on 1955 to 1957 Chevy frame rails. By providing all necessary components in one package, the kit eliminates compatibility issues and guesswork during assembly. Properly matched hardware and precise bolt patterns ensure a straightforward swap process, reducing installation time and effort. This complete solution lets you focus on fine tuning and testing rather than hunting for parts.
These headers deliver a precise fit and reliable heat management for your LS swap.
