Now available with 2.5” outlets, these LS exhaust manifolds from Hooker offer improved flow and hug the engine block to be suitable for a variety of replacement and engine-swap applications. Their contoured design shunts the exhaust directly to the exit port for improved flow, while the cast-iron construction offers years of leak-free performance—with less under-hood noise than traditional headers. Plus, their shorty design means you can route exhaust tubing close to your frame/floor pan for maximum ground clearance.

Five finishes available: Natural Cast (8502HKR), Silver Ceramic (8502-1HKR), Black Ceramic (8502-3HKR), Titanium Ceramic (8502-4HKR), and Cast Iron Gray Ceramic (8502-5HKR).

  • For GM LS engine swap applications where durability, quiet operation, and leak-free sealing is desired.
  • 5” outlet diameter for improved flow.
  • Nickel-plated steel mating flanges, MLS mating flange gaskets, and mating flange hardware included.

Use This Post Clip for Email

Fresh off the benders, these 1-5/8-inch diameter, mandrel-bent long-tube headers from Hedman Hedders install without modification, and offer the smoothest exhaust flow possible. The long-tube design provides your GM LS engine ample runner length and volume to accommodate the additional exhaust flow requirements your truck or SUV needs to perform at its peak—especially if you plan on installing other power adders (e.g., supercharger, upgraded intake, cam, engine tune, or throttle body spacer). If your engine can’t get rid of the spent gasses, you won’t get the performance you’re expecting from any of your add-ons.

If you’re ready to take your Chevy or GMC vehicle to the next level, these Hedman headers are the ticket. Applications available for 4.8, 5.3, and 6.0L 1999–2007 (1st gen) Silverado and Sierra; 1999–2006 (2nd gen) Tahoe and Yukon; and 2000–2006 (9th gen) Suburban in a variety of coated and uncoated finishes.

Features

  • 1-5/8” mandrel-bent long-tube headers.
  • Stout 3/8” flanges.
  • 3” ball and socket collector (no gasket required).
  • Includes gaskets and mounting hardware.
  • Designed and made in the USA.
  • Warranty: limited lifetime.

If you’re running a GM LS-based engine and would like to add up to 250 horsepower, complete nitrous kits from NOS inject a little more power into that stock engine or a lot more power into that custom-built hot rod. Kits include jetting for 100, 125, and 150 additional horsepower, while the plates themselves can flow enough nitrous for 250 big HP.

Available for 4-bolt drive-by-wire or cable-operated throttle bodies in 90mm and 105mm plate sizes, these are “wet” plates. The additional fuel is added though the nitrous system, so there are no requirements for an injector upgrade (but you should always make sure that your fuel delivery system is adequate to support the expected power levels).

Features

  • Add up to 250 HP to GM LS engines.
  • Available for 4-bolt drive-by-wire or cable-operated throttle bodies (90 & 105mm plates).
