Chevy Exhaust Headers
Shop Chevy exhaust headers for selected small-block, big-block, and LS-powered applications. XKV Racing offers shorty headers, long tube headers, LS swap headers, and selected header kits for Chevy trucks, muscle cars, Corvettes, Camaros, and other compatible GM platforms.
Fitment varies by engine family, displacement, model year, chassis, transmission, steering clearance, and downstream exhaust setup. Before ordering, confirm your engine, vehicle configuration, and the complete fitment notes listed on the product page.
Shop Chevy Headers by Engine and Application
Chevy used several major V8 engine families across different generations, and headers are not interchangeable simply because two vehicles share a similar displacement. Choosing by engine family and chassis is the safest way to narrow down the correct part.
Small Block Chevy SBC Headers
Small Block Chevy engines include popular displacements such as the 305 and 350, along with other traditional SBC configurations. This collection includes headers for selected Chevy and GMC C/K trucks, classic Chevrolet cars, Corvettes, and other compatible applications.
SBC header fitment can vary significantly by chassis and model year. Check engine displacement, cylinder head and flange layout, steering clearance, transmission configuration, and collector location before ordering.
Big Block Chevy BBC Headers
Big Block Chevy applications include engines such as the 396, 402, 427, and 454. Selected headers in this collection are designed for classic Chevy platforms including Camaro and Chevelle applications.
Long tube and shorty headers use different layouts and can have different clearance and downstream exhaust requirements. Confirm the exact engine, chassis, model year, primary tube size, and collector configuration listed on the product page.
LS and LS Swap Headers
The LS engine family includes platforms such as the LS1, LS2, LS3, LS6, LS9, and related 4.8L and 5.3L engines. This collection includes selected headers for factory LS-powered vehicles as well as LS swap builds.
LS swap fitment requires more attention than a factory replacement application. A header that fits one LS engine may still interfere with the frame, steering shaft, transmission, or suspension in another chassis. Check the vehicle platform, engine position, transmission, motor mounts, steering layout, and collector location before purchasing.
Camaro, Corvette, and Truck Applications
This collection also includes selected headers and exhaust kits for Camaro, Firebird, Corvette C6, Chevy C10, and C/K truck applications. Some products are designed for factory engine configurations, while others are intended specifically for engine swaps or modified exhaust systems.
Always confirm whether the product is designed for your original engine or a swap application. Model name alone is not enough to verify fitment.
When choosing Chevy exhaust headers, start with your engine family and chassis, then verify displacement, model year, transmission, steering clearance, and downstream exhaust connection. SBC, BBC, and LS headers use different layouts and should not be treated as interchangeable even when they are installed in similar Chevy vehicles.
