Small Block Chevy Lake Style Headers, Polished Stainless

Now available in polished stainless steel! Nostalgia-style street rods are hotter than ever, and nothing gives your vintage rod that authentic dry lakes competition look like a set of lakester headers. These exposed small block Chevy headers work great on rods without hoods, but we’ve also seen them peeking through carefully trimmed hood sides. Each lakester header has a flange so you can connect it to a muffled under-car exhaust when the end plate is on.

• Fits 265-400 c.i. with standard or Vortec heads including D-port ZZ-4 style heads (not LT-1)
• 1-5/8" primary
• 2.50" exhuast pipe
• Includes flange to connect 2” exhaust pipe
• Removable end plates allow you to run open headers with ease
• Headers come with end plates, but the turn-outs are NOT included
• Includes gaskets and mounting hardware

Stainless header tubing, when exposed to exhaust temperature, will cause the finish to change color which will vary with the exhaust temperature. Please note that the finish of the header, when the engine is started, will change to a light champagne color or a darker gold finish, and in some instances, may even turn dark blue or purple. These colors can be polished out using Blue-Away or Simi-Chrome polish, but please note that when the headers reach running temperature again, they will immediately change color.
