LS Swap Ceramic Coated Shorty Headers High Performance Thermal Barrier Coating Block Hugger Exhaust Headers MLS & Copper Gaskets 2.5 Inch 3 Bolt Collectors Fits 4.8 5.3 6.0 LS1 LS2 LS3 S10 C10 K10

These ceramic coated LS swap shorty headers are engineered for LS engine swap conversions requiring a compact tight tuck design, upgraded sealing components and a more premium engine bay presentation. This configuration is built for builders who want more than a basic exhaust solution, combining a durable header construction with a ceramic coated finish that delivers a refined appearance and an added thermal barrier layer for demanding custom builds. Designed specifically for LS swap applications, these headers are not compatible with 1999 and newer factory equipped GM trucks and SUVs and are not a direct bolt on replacement for factory exhaust manifolds or OEM Y pipe systems. These LS swap headers require custom installation and fabrication for proper exhaust routing. Compatible with 4.8L, 5.3L, 6.0L and 6.2L LS based V8 engines including LS1, LS2, LS3 and LS6 platforms. Suitable for headers for 5.3 LS engine conversions, 6.0 LS swap headers, LS engine conversion builds and other Gen III and Gen IV LS swap configurations. Commonly used in S10 LS swap headers applications, C10 LS swap builds, K10 truck conversions, hot rod LS swaps, classic truck restorations and custom chassis builds where compact shorty LS headers are required to maintain steering shaft, frame and suspension clearance. The ceramic coated finish is designed to withstand repeated heat cycles while helping reduce radiant heat in the engine compartment compared to uncoated exhaust headers. The finish also provides a cleaner, more refined appearance for builders who want a higher end engine bay presentation without the raw metal look. Each set features 2.5 inch 3 bolt collectors designed for standard bolt on exhaust connections and compatibility with common 2.5 inch exhaust systems used in LS swap applications. Includes factory style MLS header gaskets and solid copper 2.5 inch collector gaskets for improved sealing durability compared to standard composite gasket sets. Designed for universal LS engine swap applications requiring custom installation. Designed for vehicles manufactured in 1967 and earlier prior to federal emissions standards. Not for use on any vehicle 1968 or newer or any engine originally manufactured with emissions equipment.
