Building a custom turbo setup on an LS engine? Speed Engineering's forward facing turbo headers give you a solid, well-built foundation to work from. Constructed from 304 natural 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 and are not designed for any specific vehicle application.
Features:
- 1-3/4" Primary Tubes — Sized for turbo applications across the LS engine family
- 3" Short Collector Design — Forward facing orientation for turbocharger placement flexibility
- Mandrel Bent Tubing — Consistent tube diameter throughout; no crimping, no restriction
- CNC Machined Flanges — Precision fit at the cylinder head for a leak-free seal
- 304 Natural Stainless Steel Construction — Corrosion resistant, heat tolerant, and built to last
- Standard Graphite Manifold Gaskets Included
- V8 Engines Only
