CLEARANCE-1 7/8-2 Stepped Ceramic Coated Headers for F-Body
Swapping an LS or LT powerplant into a 1982 to 1992 Camaro or Firebird often runs into tight chassis clearance and exhaust pulse tuning challenges, which the CLEARANCE-1 1 7/8 to 2 Stepped Ceramic Coated Headers for 82 to 92 F Body directly address. Built from quality stainless steel the 1 7/8 inch primaries expand to 2 inches for an optimal balance of velocity and volume while the ceramic coating retains heat to reduce underhood temperatures and resist corrosion. Bolting to factory flange locations these F Body headers clear frame rails and steering components for an installation that avoids modification headaches. Drivers will appreciate the smoother torque curve and crisper throttle response delivered across the power band.
Optimized Transition from Narrow to Wide Tubes
The stepped change in primary diameter from 1 7/8 inch to 2 inches guides exhaust gases through a controlled expansion that harnesses pulse energy for efficient scavenging. A narrower inlet maintains high gas velocity at low engine speeds, while the larger section reduces backpressure when rpm climbs. This balanced flow path smooths torque delivery across the rev range and sharpens throttle response without sacrificing mid range performance.
Ceramic Barrier for Thermal Regulation and Corrosion Control
The ceramic finish forms a dense shield that locks heat inside the tubes, cutting underhood temperatures and protecting nearby components from heat soak. By keeping exhaust gases hotter as they travel through the header, the design preserves gas momentum and improves flow efficiency. At the same time the coating repels moisture and resists road salt, preventing surface oxidation and preserving a like-new appearance over years of use.
Robust Stainless Steel Fabrication for Lasting Strength
Constructed from high chromium stainless steel, these headers withstand extreme thermal cycling without warping or cracking. Precision welding techniques ensure smooth seams that resist fatigue and sealing failures under vibration and torque shifts. The inherent toughness of this material delivers consistent performance in both spirited driving and daily use.
Exact Fitment for 1982 to 1992 Camaro and Firebird Chassis
Each tube and flange aligns precisely with factory exhaust ports and frame rails, eliminating the need for cutting or trimming. The exits are angled to clear steering linkages and crossmembers, saving installation time for home builders and professional shops alike. This vehicle specific match ensures a straightforward bolt on solution and reliable sealing against flange faces.
Precisely engineered for a clean installation and reliable performance.
