Stainless LS Swap Shorty Headers Offer High Performance in a Compact Design
Headers have long been a must have for a hopped-up hot rod or muscle car. They look cool, sound great, and add horsepower, so what’s not to love? Well, back in the old days, headers came with their share of problems. Flanges warped and caused exhaust leaks, painted-on coating didn’t last, and those long tubes and bulky collectors hanging down below the car dragged on just about everything. Even worse on lowered cars. Not to mention those long tubes were hard to package into the chassis.
This is where shorty headers really shine. Long tubes will almost always make the most power, but these short clipsters offer the best of both worlds. Tubular headers offer more flow and more power potential than manifolds, yet the collector remains above the car’s floor, allowing the exhaust to be tucked tight and out of harm’s way.
These new LS Swap Shorty Headers from Speedway Motors hit the sweet spot, delivering the performance and ground clearance of a tube header with the durability of stainless construction, thick, warp-free flanges, and the bonus of a V-band style collector. V-bands create a leak-free, maintenance-free seal that looks trick and makes for easy service when the exhaust has to come apart. As a bonus, these headers also come with pre-welded collector stubs that are complete with oxygen sensor bungs.
304 Stainless Construction for Long Lasting Performance
The 304 stainless steel construction of these LS clipster headers solves another one of those age-old header problems. It’s hard to get a coating to stick to something that heats up to 2000 degrees. Stainless doesn’t need to be coated, so there’s no ceramic or aluminized paint to peel or break down. That means long-lasting good looks, no matter how many miles you drive.
LS Swap Headers to Fit a Variety of Applications
By now we all know that LS engines make great power and are relatively compact. That’s why you see them swapped into just about every car and truck imaginable. Because of their short length and compact design, clipster headers are a great complement to that LS swap that you’re planning, even if it’s an obscure chassis or subframe. These headers are the perfect solution for LS swaps in a wide variety of midsize, ponycar, and truck chassis due to their compact design.
