Solve Your LS Swap Turbo Build Hot Side Needs with Our LS Forward Facing Headers

LS swaps are certainly hugely popular and today they’re making more power than ever thanks to all manner of LS single turbo kits that provide easy bolt on gains for horsepower and torque. Many of these kits are based around a single turbo and cast iron manifolds. This is great for a street application, but what if you’re wanting to up the boost and go racing? Or perhaps you want to configure a custom twin turbo setup for your LS swapped race car?

One of the best ways to plumb a large single turbo or a set of twins in a mirror image setup (one standard and one reverse rotation turbo) is with a forward facing tubular header setup. Using upswept forward facing turbo LS headers provide the shortest and cleanest path to your turbos and provide more room in the engine compartment for your intercooler and the fitment of a motor plate (which usually obstructs the typical down facing exhaust collector when swapping manifolds side for side) by keeping the turbo mounting higher in the engine bay.

Polished Stainless Steel Construction for Long Life and Superior Appearance

Using 304 stainless steel for its strength and corrosion resistance, our forward facing LS turbo headers begin with thick 3/8-inch flanges that are CNC machined to provide a tight, leak free seal to your LS cylinder heads. Welded to these strong stainless steel flanges are large, high flow 1-7/8-inch mandrel bent primary tubes that help get those hot exhaust gasses to your turbo(s) in the most direct path possible. The mandrel bending process ensures a uniform primary tube diameter for the entire length of the primary tube, including any bends. These primaries converge into industry standard 3-inch V-band flanges for gasket free sealing to the rest of your hot side plumbing for use as LS single turbo headers or even directly to V-band flanged turbo inlet adapters for use as LS twin turbo headers if you’re looking for that cool “twin turbo sticking partially through the hood” look.

Works With All Popular LS Engine Displacements

The large 1.892-inch round exhaust ports CNC machined into the header flanges means these will bolt up and work with standard LS exhaust ports found on popular LS swap engines including the 4.8, 5.3, 6.0, 6.2, LS1, LS2, LS3, LS6, and LSA engines. So, no matter what LS engine you’re swapping to, or even if you decide to upgrade your LS cylinder heads later, these forward facing LS turbo headers will bolt up to whatever cylinder head you’re using, now or in the future. Our universal LS forward facing headers are a race only product and not intended for street use. These turbo LS headers feature an overall length of 22-inches in length for the driver’s side header and 23-inches in length for the passenger’s side header. High quality graphite header gaskets, header bolts, and V-band weld flanges with V-band clamps for the collectors are included as well.

If you’re ready to step up your LS swap’s performance with some boost courtesy of a single or dual turbo upgrade, our polished stainless steel LS forward facing turbo headers are a fantastic way to ensure your turbo(s) are fed a steady diet of exhaust gasses. These headers will help your turbocharged LS spool up quickly, packing your combustion chambers with power making pressurized air, while the upswept forward facing design provides more room for engine swap mount kits, motor plates, trick suspensions, and of course front mounted intercoolers.
