Enhance your Small Block Chevy (SBC) exhaust system with the CAE-006 Mid-Length Headers, designed to deliver improved exhaust flow, practical ground clearance, and reliable construction.
Ideal for street performance builds, classic muscle car restorations, restomod projects, and custom engine swaps, these stainless steel exhaust headers offer a balance of performance-focused design and installation flexibility.
Manufactured from 304 stainless steel, the CAE-006 headers feature mandrel-bent 1-5/8-inch primary tubes, precision CNC-machined flanges, and durable TIG-welded joints for dependable performance.
The mid-length configuration provides improved ground clearance compared to traditional long-tube headers while offering a performance-oriented alternative to restrictive factory exhaust manifolds.
This design is particularly useful for street-driven vehicles, restorations, and custom builds with limited underbody space.
Built from corrosion-resistant 304 stainless steel, these SBC exhaust headers feature a polished finish and durable construction designed for long-term use.
The 1-5/8-inch mandrel-bent primary tubes maintain a consistent internal diameter to support smooth exhaust gas flow and balanced low-end torque and horsepower characteristics.
CNC-machined cylinder head flanges provide accurate alignment and a secure sealing surface, helping maintain a reliable connection between the exhaust headers and cylinder heads.
Precision TIG-welded joints provide structural strength and durability, making these headers suitable for demanding street-performance and custom applications.
Equipped with a 3-bolt collector flange, the CAE-006 headers support a traditional gasketed exhaust connection, simplifying integration with compatible exhaust systems.
