LS Swap Shorty Exhaust Headers V-Band Collectors with MLS Steel Gaskets and LS Header Bolts 304 Stainless Steel For LS Engine Swaps Only Fits 4.8L 5.3L 6.0L 6.2L LS1 LS2 LS3 LS6 — Open-Box, 17% Off

TRUE V-BAND COLLECTOR DESIGN: Features true V-band collectors instead of traditional 3 bolt flanges for improved exhaust alignment and easier serviceability. Often preferred in turbo and forced induction LS swap builds as well as custom naturally aspirated fabrication projects.

MLS GASKETS AND LS HEADER BOLTS INCLUDED: Includes multi layer steel header gaskets and correct LS specification M8 x 1.25 header bolts for complete installation without sourcing separate hardware.

SWAP ONLY APPLICATION: Designed specifically for LS engine swap conversions. Not compatible with 1999 and newer factory equipped GM trucks and SUVs and not a direct bolt on replacement for factory exhaust systems.

304 STAINLESS STEEL CONSTRUCTION: Built from 304 stainless steel with CNC cut flanges and TIG welded seams for durability, corrosion resistance and long term reliability in custom LS swap builds.

COMPACT TIGHT TUCK LAYOUT: Shorty design engineered for clearance in S10 C10 K10 and similar LS swap chassis where steering shaft, frame and suspension space is limited. 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.

These LS swap shorty exhaust headers with V-band collectors are designed specifically for LS engine swap conversions requiring fabrication flexibility and serviceability. This V-band LS header configuration replaces traditional 3 bolt collector flanges with true V-band connections, allowing rotational adjustment during exhaust fabrication and simplified removal for future modifications. Compatible with 4.8L, 5.3L, 6.0L and 6.2L LS-based V8 engines including LS1, LS2, LS3 and LS6 platforms. Ideal for LS swap headers applications, 5.3 LS headers conversions, 6.0 LS swap builds and similar Gen III and Gen IV LS engine swap projects. Not compatible with 2014 and newer LT-based engines. Designed for LS engine swaps only. Not compatible with 1999 and newer factory-equipped GM trucks and SUVs and not a direct bolt-on replacement for factory exhaust manifolds or factory Y-pipe systems. Custom installation and fabrication are required. The true V-band collector design provides a secure metal-to-metal sealing surface with uniform clamping force. V-band LS headers are commonly preferred in turbo LS swap builds, forced induction projects and custom fabrication applications due to their compact profile, improved alignment capability and ease of service. They are equally suited for naturally aspirated LS swap builds where future exhaust changes or modular system adjustments are anticipated. Each set includes multi layer steel MLS header gaskets and the correct LS specification M8 x 1.25 x 25 mm header bolts, creating a complete installation kit without the need to source separate LS header hardware. Compared to entry-level gasket sets, MLS steel header gaskets provide improved durability under repeated heat cycles in high-temperature LS swap applications. Constructed from 304 stainless steel, these stainless steel LS swap headers feature mandrel bent runners, CNC-cut flanges and TIG welded seams for long term corrosion resistance and structural integrity. The compact shorty design supports tight tuck installations in S10 LS swap headers applications, C10 LS swap builds, K10 truck LS conversions and similar chassis where steering shaft, frame rail and suspension clearance are critical. These V-band LS swap headers are intended for custom build, fabrication and pre-emissions applications. 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.
