Shorty Headers

The Sanderson Headers LS10-158 header set is engineered for GM LS series engine swaps, offering a compact, swept-back design with a collector exit that hugs the firewall angle. This header set is compatible with a wide range of classic muscle cars, street rods, customs, and classic truck applications, including Chevelle, El Camino, and Chevy Truck LS swaps. The LS10-158 features 1-5/8-inch primary tubes for improved exhaust flow over the standard LS10 model. Constructed from 16-gauge steel for both primary and collector tubes, these headers boast a robust 3/8-inch thick flange. Sanderson Headers utilizes a patented flange design that eliminates the need for gaskets, simplifying installation and preventing leaks. The company claims this design offers the tightest fit available. The set includes all necessary hardware for installation, such as header bolts and collector reducer sets. Sanderson Headers are proudly made in the USA and come with a Limited 5-Year General Warranty. They offer several finish options, including Silver Ceramic Coated, Black Satin Ceramic Coated, and Plain Steel (raw metal). The ceramic coating is recommended for its protective qualities, thermal control benefits, and improved cylinder scavenging, enhancing the longevity of the headers. Installation notes emphasize that gaskets should not be used with this header's patented flange design, as attempting to do so can cause leaks. It's important to note that Sanderson Headers are not emissions legal for pollution-controlled vehicles, and it is the purchaser's responsibility to verify local regulations. Wrapping the headers with thermal tape will void the warranty.
