Key Features

Premium T304 Stainless Steel Construction

Our exhaust headers are crafted from high-quality T304 stainless steel, delivering exceptional durability and corrosion resistance even in harsh weather conditions. The robust 7/16" steel plate head flange prevents cracking or warping, ensuring a leak-free seal for years to come.

Performance

These performance headers are engineered to support improved exhaust flow from idle through mid-range RPM. The optimized primary tube diameter (1-5/8") and 2-1/2" collector design improves exhaust flow, unlocking your LS engine's true potential—expect noticeable gains in both horsepower and torque.

Vehicle-specific design for LS Engine Swaps

Designed specifically for engine conversion swap header applications, these shorty headers provide hassle-free installation on Chevy C10 and S10 platforms. The compact design clears steering components and frame rails while maintaining optimal ground clearance.

Superior Welding Quality

Each set of Chevy headers features precision TIG welding throughout, creating wear-resistant and crack-proof joints that withstand extreme temperatures. Our short tube headers are built for long-lasting durability under demanding driving conditions.

Complete Installation Kit Included

Every purchase includes a complete set of exhaust manifold bolts, gasket, and all necessary hardware for installation. Professional installation is recommended for optimal results.

Description

Whether you're restoring a vintage C10 pickup, building a high-performance Camaro, or upgrading your Silverado for better exhaust flow, these exhaust headers deliver the perfect combination of power, sound, and reliability.

Our Chevrolet headers are manufactured from T304 stainless steel with a mirror-polished chrome finish that resists corrosion and looks stunning under the hood. The 1-5/8" primary tubes are optimized for LS-series engines ranging from 4.8L to 6.2L, providing excellent exhaust velocity without sacrificing low-end torque.

At AMVirtuo, we believe performance upgrades shouldn't be a luxury. That's why we've designed these headers to offer professional-grade quality at a price point that respects your build budget. Every set is tested for fitment and durability, ensuring your LS swap project starts with a solid foundation.

The Bottom Line: If you're investing in an LS engine swap for your C10, S10, Camaro, or Silverado, headers are the better choice for maximizing your engine's potential. More power, better sound, longer lasting.

Installation Notes

Professional Tips:

  1. Pre-Fit Before Installation: Test-fit the headers on your engine while it's on a stand. This helps identify any clearance issues with steering shafts, firewall, or frame rails before the engine is dropped in.
  2. Firewall Clearance: Some S10 and Camaro LS swap builds may require minor firewall lip modification. Use a hammer to carefully flatten the firewall edge if headers contact it.
  3. Steering Shaft Clearance: On certain vehicles, the steering shaft may need slight adjustment or a smaller-diameter shaft to clear the headers properly.
  4. O2 Sensors: Plan your oxygen sensor placement before final installation. Some builds require O2 sensor bung relocation or extension harnesses.

Estimated Installation Time: 4-8 hours (professional shop recommended)

Pro Tip

Test-fitting headers while the engine is on a stand can help identify potential fitment issues before installation. This saves time and prevents costly rework during the final install.

Great Headers

Got these for my 2005 isuzu npr-hd 6.0 gas engine. After ordering several other headers these were the only ones that cleanred my frame and mounts. On my truck the frame is 4inches from the head mating surface so not much room. The V-band clamps work perfect! For the price im very satisfied with the quality. 10/10 would recommend

You will need new plug wires

Fit and finish were pretty good for chinese made. Only problem was plan on buying angled plug wires. #3,4,5,7 all the wires hit the header. Would be fine if you never started the engine.

91 suburban 4x4 with th400 trans

Used these on a 91 suburban with 4x4 and a th400. I did have to cut tabs off the th400 but knew that before buying. Installing exhaust was a breeze. Worked out great.

They do fit a 1972 el camino

You got to cut the ears off the transmission (th400) once you cut the ears off that holds inspection on. They fit perfectly very nice product

Good

Worked out good I did have to put a dent in one to make it work on my c10

Good quality but still issues

They fit nicely and quality is great. The issue is they don't have clearance for the sparkplug wires.

Good fit

These headers fit for a ls swap on a 77 cutlass supreme, I ordered these to replace another set from a different seller that was supposed to fit for that car

Don’t hesitate

I was skeptical these would fit. They definitely did. I’m running a th400 behind a l92 in a 1986 c30. There was a little clearing needed around the bell housing but otherwise they fit great. Opted for arp header bolts instead of the bolts that came with it. The vbands aren’t a great fit but I was able to remedy that with a gasket. All in all I’m very impressed for the price.

This product is very good, excellent quality.

This product is very good, excellent quality. Sturdy design. The product is wear-resistant and can withstand high temperatures. These headers are carefully designed for long-lasting durability, easy to install, with washers and exhaust manifold bolts, the overall effect is very good and practical.

So far so Good.

The headers itself is of excellent quality. The overall installation was very simple and I cleaned the intake tract and valves while it was apart. After starting it up, it was as quiet as new again! Overall it has worked very well.

V-bands are trash

Headers are good but the v-bands won’t seal it. You will have an exhaust leak

Headers look nice, but the v-bands are trash

The pair I got looked nice, but the v-bands were way loose, no way they would ever seal. Found the exact same headers on ebay for almost half the price.

Cheap bands

Vband bolt is tiny and the nut seal is plastic and will melt away the 1st time it gets to operating temperature headers look great

Perfect fit

Perfect fit in my LS swapped '36 Chevy Standard with 4l60 transmission. No adjustments needed. Plenty of room between frame rails and starter.

Ls swap

I purchased these because of clearance issue on frame of my ls swapped 62 C-10 and the way collector and header fit together tightly with no 3 bolt flange is perfect for my clearance issues. High quality and thick flanges mean they will stay sealed for good. Very happy with quality and fit .So if your swapping LS into anything check these out

For the price, shockingly good part

I needed maximum clearance for an LS swap into a late 50's car. On these cars the power steering box is directly in the space of most header and manifold flanges. I tried the stock manifolds....nope. I tried the GM LS swap manifolds (very nice pieces BTW) - but nope. These were perfect because they hug the block and have V bands rather than flanges. Took minimal space and fit with only a small amount of convincing from the big hammer....the welds were good and the chrome finish should help deter corrosion.
