Building a custom turbo setup around a Gen 5 LT1 or LT4 engine? Speed Engineering's forward and upward facing turbo headers give you a solid foundation to work from. Built from polished 304 stainless steel with mandrel-bent primary tubes, CNC-machined flanges, and full TIG-welded construction, these headers are designed for custom turbo builds where a universal fit is needed rather than a vehicle-specific application.
⚠️ Important: These are completely universal headers not designed for any specific vehicle. A Camaro or Corvette water pump and other supporting components will be required for installation.
