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.

Installation Notes
Professional Tips:
- 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.
- 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.
- Steering Shaft Clearance: On certain vehicles, the steering shaft may need slight adjustment or a smaller-diameter shaft to clear the headers properly.
- 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)
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.
