  • THIS PAIR OF SOUTHWEST SPEED PERFORMANCE SHORT HEADERS OFFER AN IMMEDIATE INCREASE IN PERFORMANCE BY ELIMINATING BACKPRESSURE, IMPROVING EXHAUST FLOW, AND BUILDING MORE HORSEPOWER. THE CONSISTENT TUBING DIAMETER CONTRIBUTES TO THE SMOOTH AIR FLOW AND GREATER EXHAUST VELOCITY OF THESE HEADERS. THESE HEADERS ARE A DIRECT REPLACEMENT FOR 1978-1987 MALIBU/CUTLASS/REGAL, 1982-1990 FIREBIRD, AND 1982-1991 CAMARO WITH SBC 305-350 CU. IN. ENGINES. THESE HEADERS ARE GROUND PARALLEL WITH .380" FLANGES ON THE CYLINDER HEAD SURFACE, AND FEATURE 1 1/2" PRIMARY TUBES WITH 2 1/2" COLLECTORS, COMPLETE WITH HEADER BOLTS AND GASKETS AND REDUCER BOLTS AND GASKETS. INCLUDES A PAIR OF 2 1/2" REDUCERS TO COMPLETE THE INSTALLATION.
  • CERAMIC HOT COATING (CHC) IS A HEAT RESISTANT, CERAMIC COATING APPLIED TO THE OUTSIDE OF THE HEADER. THIS COATING WILL REFLECT HEAT, WHICH HELPS RETAIN MORE HEAT WITHIN THE HEADER TUBE, WHILE SIMULTANEOUSLY SPEEDING UP THE EXHAUST FLOW. NOT ONLY WILL THIS COATING HELP YOU MAKE MORE HORSEPOWER, IT ALSO KEEPS YOUR HEADERS RUST-FREE, LOOKING GREAT, AND LASTING LONGER (WHEN PROPERLY MAINTAINED). IF YOU ARE LOOKING FOR A QUALITY FINISH FOR YOUR HEADERS, THIS IS IT. GOOD TO 1300 DEGREES.
