FAQ
What does "forward facing/upward" mean for these turbo headers?
This describes the turbo header design and outlet orientation — the headers are engineered to route turbo plumbing upward and toward the front of the engine, which works well with truck accessory packaging and common single-turbo or twin-turbo truck builds.
Will these headers require any other modifications?
Some swap vehicles may require modification or replacement of factory A/C and/or brake components for proper header clearance and fitment.
What ignition coils work with these headers?
These headers work with the Speed Engineering ignition coils (26-1028) or factory D510C coils mounted on the factory valve covers using factory brackets.
Do these fit factory LS trucks or only LS swap applications?
Both. These headers are tested for fitment on factory LS-equipped GMT800 Silverado, Sierra, Tahoe, and Yukon trucks (1999–2013) as well as LS swap conversions on the OBS C1500 platform (1988–1998) and classic C10 platform (1967–1987).
What LS engines are these headers compatible with?
These headers are compatible with GM LS V8 engines including 4.8L, 5.3L, 6.0L, 6.2L, LS1, LS2, LS3, and LS6.
What material are these headers made from?
304 natural stainless steel with full TIG-welded construction and CNC-machined flanges.
Are gaskets included?
Yes. Standard graphite manifold gaskets are included.
Are these headers street legal?
No. These are race-only headers intended for closed-course competition use only. Installation on a street-driven vehicle may violate the Clean Air Act (42 U.S.C. 7522(a)(3)).
⚠️ Race Use Only: This product is manufactured and sold for installation on vehicles used solely for competition.
