Default New 2" LS headers!

For your big hp LS engines Speedtech Performance has just introduced our new 2” primary tube, 3 ½” collector LS headers. These fully TIG welded Stainless Steel performance headers are made by hand in house and are available for ‘67-69 Camaros and ‘68-74 Novas for both our Pro Touring Subframe and the GM subframe.

If you’ve got an LS in the “lower” 450-550 hp range where 2” tubes might be a little too much, we also offer the same high quality stainless header in a 1 ¾” tube, 3” collector version. Check out our headers and other performance products at www.speedtechperformance.com.

Thanks, but the praise goes to Ryan our welding team leader. He's the master of the TIG welder and when he builds a set of these it's like art in the making!

Any idea if these will work with a DSE subframe?

Please note Tim that these are designed for 1st gen cars and will not fit well in a 2nd gen Camaro.

The 2" headers are based on the design of our 1 3/4" headers, basically just larger tubes. We have tested the 1 3/4" headers with a Ridetech True Turn system and they fit fine, so the 2" should fit fine in that application too.

I dug up some older photos that show our 1 3/4" headers in a DSE subframe. With the 2" based on the 1 3/4" it should work ok, but again we personally haven't tried this combo.

They look great. Do you offer a 1 7/8" set?

Ben,

Keep in mind when it comes to DSE's frame, very little difference. In fact my DSE frame for my 70 camaro is using their 67-69 headers as well as your 67-69 crossmember. If your headers fit the DSE frame, should fit the sec gen DSE frame too.

Good info.


Sorry fellas, we have either the 1 3/4" or 2" on the line up, no 1 7/8" planned.
