Upgrade your custom LS engine swap with these 304 stainless steel shorty headers, designed for Gen 3 and Gen 4 LS-based engines. Featuring 1 5/8-inch mandrel-bent runners, CNC-cut flanges, and TIG-welded seams, they are built to support exhaust flow and provide clearance around steering and suspension components.
The V-band collector design creates a gasket-free, metal-to-metal connection for exhaust fabrication. Each set includes factory-style Multi-Layer Steel (MLS) gaskets and LS-specification M8 × 1.25 × 25 mm header bolts for a suitable installation setup.
These headers are intended for custom LS engine swaps only and are not designed for vehicles originally equipped with LS engines from the factory. They can be used in swap projects involving classic GM vehicles such as the C10, K10, S10, and Chevelle, subject to the specific vehicle and installation requirements.

| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| Will these headers fit a factory LS-equipped vehicle? | No. They are designed for custom LS engine swaps, not vehicles originally equipped with LS engines from the factory. |
| Which engine sizes are listed as compatible? | 4.8L, 5.3L, 5.7L LS1, 6.0L, and 6.2L Gen 3 and Gen 4 LS-based engines. |
| What is the primary tube diameter? | The headers feature 1 5/8-inch mandrel-bent runners. |
| What are the benefits of the V-band collectors? | They provide a gasket-free, metal-to-metal connection intended to simplify custom exhaust fabrication. |
| Are gaskets and header bolts included? | Yes. The set includes factory-style MLS gaskets and M8 × 1.25 × 25 mm LS-specification header bolts. |
| Will these fit my C10, K10, S10, or Chevelle? | They may suit these custom swap applications, but actual fitment depends on the vehicle, engine installation, and exhaust configuration. |
Fitment Note: These headers are for custom LS swaps only. Verify engine configuration, available clearance, and exhaust connection requirements before purchasing.
