Exhaust Header
Vehicle specific stainless steel long tube and shorty exhaust headers for performance and engine swap applications
Why It Exists
Problems This Category Solves
- Factory cast iron manifolds restrict exhaust flow and reduce engine breathing at high RPM
- Mild steel headers warp and crack under repeated heat cycling from high-performance engines
- Poorly fitted flanges leak at the cylinder head joint, causing loss of power and engine noise
- Universal headers require cutting, welding and custom fitting, increasing installation time and cost
- Incorrect pipe diameter or collector design reduces scavenging and lowers torque output
Buyers
Who Buys This Category
- Performance parts distributors buying engine swap headers by the pallet
- Diesel and truck accessory wholesalers stocking bolt-on headers for classic and modern trucks
- Online auto parts sellers needing vehicle-specific fitment with clear part numbers
- Independent installation shops that require reliable headers with minimal fitment issues
Advantages
What Makes These Parts Different
- 1-7/8 inch and 1-3/4 inch primary tubes match factory inlet sizes for direct fitment on LS and SBC engines
- TIG double side welded construction ensures strength and leak resistance under high exhaust pressure
- CNC machined flanges maintain flatness and alignment for a consistent seal at the cylinder head
- 201 stainless steel construction resists heat, corrosion and road salt better than mild steel
- Mirror polish finish reduces surface drag and improves heat dissipation compared to bare metal
Applications
Where These Parts Are Used
- Classic car restorers upgrading a 1979-1993 Ford Mustang GT with a modern LS swap using a compatible header
- Performance shops installing a long tube header on a 2005-2010 Chevrolet Cobalt for improved mid-range torque
- Distributors stocking 2014-2016 Corvette Stingray LT1/LT4 headers for the growing C7 market
- Online sellers offering a photographed, vehicle-specific header with a clean fitment list for resale
- Workshops replacing cracked factory manifolds on a 1997-2004 Corvette C5 with a proven long tube header

Answers
Exhaust Header Questions Buyers Ask
Will this fit a 1995-2001 Ford Mustang GT 4.6L V8?
Yes. The header is designed for 1996-2004 Ford Mustang GT 4.6L V8 with a stainless steel pair and CNC machined flanges.
What is the primary tube size?
1-7/8 inch for the Corvette 97-04 5.7L and 1-3/4 inch for LS swap applications. Check the part number for exact fitment.
Is the flange included or do I need to weld it on?
The CNC machined flange is already welded to the header. It ships as a complete unit and bolts directly to the engine.
What material is used and why does it matter?
201 stainless steel with a mirror polish finish. It resists heat, corrosion and warping better than mild steel or cast iron.
What is included in the package?
One header. Gaskets and hardware are not included unless specified on the part number. Use a fresh head gasket for sealing.
