Default Stainless Works to expand LS swap header and exhaust line up. SUGGESTIONS!

Stainless Works is gearing up to add a couple more LS swap vehicles to the Stable. We are curious what you guys are working on that we don't already cover. This will also serve to have a single list for anyone doing searches for "SWAP HEADERS"


List of Current Stainless Works LS Swap headers and exhausts

All headers and exhausts are made from 304L Stainless Steel and come with a lifetime warranty on materials and workmanship.


*TURBO APPLICATIONS*

> LSXT - Upswept Turbo header for LS motor. Fits Camaro (4th gen upside down), Chevelle, and Nova with minimal if any fabrication. May fit other applications

> LS1DFT - Downswept Turbo header for LS motor. Fits 4th Gen with A/C and has been used on 5th Gen with minimal modications


*CAMARO/FIREBIRD/TRANSAM*

> CA679WD - 67-69 F-Body with Wayne Due or comparable subframe.

> CALS1 - 67-69 F-Body with rack and pinion steering conversion

> CALS1SB - 67-69 F-Body with stock steering box (recently redesigned with extra room around box)

> CA679LSCH - 67-69 F-Body exhaust to connect to Stainless Works headers. Chambered Round mufflers with no X pipe

> CA679LSD - 67-69 F-Body 3" exhaust to connect to Stainless Works headers. Turbo style mufflers with X pipe

> Second Generation parts not available

> LS swap for 82-92 available through Hawk's ThirdGen


*Chevelle/El Camino/Monte Carlo*

> CVLS1 - 68-72 Chevelle 1 7/8" primaries with 3" collector. For use with stock steering box

> CVLS1ST -68-72 Chevelle 1 3/4" primaries with 3" collector. For use with stock steering box

> CV6872LSD - 68-72 Chevelle 3" exhaust system to connect to Stainless Works headers. X pipe and chambered turbo mufflers


*Corvette*

> C3NCSE - 63-82 Corvette with Newman Chassis with factory side exhaust


*Nova*

> CALS1 - 68-72 Nova with rack and pinion steering

> CALS1SB - 68-72 Nova with stock steering box

> NVLS1 - 62-67 Nova with Church Boy Rack and Pinion steering

> Mid-length headers for 62-67 Nova available through Church Boy Racing

> NVLS3S - 62-67 Nova 3" Turbo Chambered exhaust with X pipe for connection to SW headers



We are thinking 2nd gen Fbody and a 63-82 Corvette should be a good addition. We missing anybody else?

It would be nice to see some for 1947-55 chevy trucks. If you need a test vehicle I suppose I will volunteer.

But seriously it is an extremely popular swap. I have spent weeks searching for what headers to run and it seems like most guys either use eBay block hungers or fab their own.

It would be nice to see some LS swap longtube headers for 78-88 g-bodys. The swaps are getting popular and there is very little options for headers.

The 58-64 full size chevy cars (Impala/BelAir/Biscayne) are very popular swaps, but someone already makes shorty headers for them. I'd personally love to see a more performance oriented header (longtubes) made.


How about some fenderwell headers that would fit 62-67 Chevy II's and 55-57 Chevys? (along with alot of other stuff)

As many people that are doing Fox swaps these days I think that might be a market to get into.

Turbo stuff would even be cool.

X100!!!!! Seems that nothing out there ACTUALLY fits. We pay $400+ and still end up with mods or dents required.

Another vote for s10 longtubes... a set that actually fits in the frame. You'd sell a ton of them
