Stainless Mid-Length Headers – SBC 283–400

Upgrade your Small Block Chevy with a mid-length header design engineered for real-world performance and fitment flexibility. The CAE-006 headers provide a strong balance between power gains and installation practicality, making them ideal for street builds, restorations, and swap applications.

Constructed from 304 stainless steel, these headers feature mandrel bent 1-5/8 inch primary tubes that promote consistent exhaust flow while maintaining low-end torque. Precision CNC machined flanges and TIG welded joints ensure durability, strength, and long-term reliability.

The mid-length configuration improves ground clearance compared to long tube headers while still offering a significant performance upgrade over restrictive factory manifolds. This makes them especially useful in vehicles with tighter chassis constraints or custom builds where clearance is critical.

Designed with a standard 3-bolt collector flange, these headers connect easily to common exhaust systems using a gasketed connection. This simplifies installation and provides compatibility across a wide range of exhaust setups.

Commonly used across multiple GM platforms, these headers are well suited for classic muscle cars, restomod projects, and custom Small Block Chevy builds.
