LS 1-7/8 Ceramic Coated Mid-Length Headers for B-Body
Installing an LS engine in a B-Body from 1991 to 1996 demands headers that clear the frame rails and steering components without grinding or rerouting. They feature 1-7/8 inch tubes contoured for optimal port-to-collector alignment which smooths exhaust pulses and delivers exhaust efficiency. A 3/8 inch flange holds a leak-free seal whether you're cruising or accelerating hard. Engineers matched the bolt pattern to common LS mount kits so fitting into your GM chassis takes minutes rather than hours.
Advanced Ceramic Coating for Thermal Management
The silver ceramic layer on the mid length headers acts as a thermal barrier, reflecting radiant heat back into the exhaust path and isolating engine bay components from excessive temperatures. This protective finish minimizes engine bay heat soak, preserving the integrity of nearby wiring and hoses. By keeping exhaust gas heat within the tubes, scavenging pulses remain strong for improved torque delivery. The coating also bonds to steel surfaces to inhibit rust and abrasion, extending the headers' service life under demanding conditions.
1 7/8 Inch Tubing for Optimized Exhaust Scavenging
Precisely sized 1 7/8 inch header tubes deliver a balance between flow capacity and pulse tuning for LS powerplants in B-Body chassis. Matching the cylinder head port volume ensures uniform gas velocity across all cylinders, even during rapid throttle changes. The mid length configuration places collectors to harness scavenging effects, boosting low-end torque and reducing back pressure at higher engine speeds. This optimized design enhances throttle response and helps extract maximum horsepower from your engine swap.
3/8 Inch Flanges and Steel Construction for Seal Integrity
Each header features a 3/8 inch thick steel flange machined perfectly flat to maintain a consistent seal against the cylinder head. This robust flange resists warping through repeated heat cycles, ensuring gaskets hold firm over thousands of miles. High-quality steel construction adds rigidity and durability, preventing exhaust leaks that cause noise, power loss, and gas intrusion in the engine bay. Precision drilling of bolt holes completes a leak-free interface for reliable performance in any driving condition.
Direct Fit Compatibility for Swift LS Engine Swaps
These headers are engineered to match Muscle Rods LS swap mount kits, aligning precisely with common bolt patterns to remove installation guesswork. A full hardware package of premium gaskets and bolts is included, speeding up assembly and reducing the need for aftermarket parts. Carefully routed tubes provide clearance around crossmember, frame rails, and steering components, eliminating grinding or rerouting. This direct fit approach cuts labor time and lets installers focus on tuning rather than fabrication.
These headers deliver a precision fit and reliable performance for your LS swap.
