B-Series Bullseye: Part II
We all know and love the Honda/Acura B-series motors and for good reason. They have been and continue to be the mainstay of the sport compact performance market. Sure, the new K-series motors are making headway with more and more performance pieces and they look to succeed the B-series once the supply of used motors becomes available in the quantities (and pricing) currently enjoyed by the B-series. But for now, Civic, CRX and Integra engine swappers, not to mention the horde of those originally so equipped, have made the B16A, B18A/B, B18C and B18C5 the performance Honda motors of choice.

PEEL ‘N STICK
When dismantling your project car, you probably ran across the crumbling remnants of the original insulation. Old cars are notoriously “leaky” when it comes to heat and sound barriers, making them louder and hotter than the typical daily driver. Sometimes a loud exhaust system overrides the road noise, but you’ll always notice when your air conditioning system never seems to keep the cabin cool. If you’re in the midst of an interior refresh, or a full restoration, it’s a great time to consider new insulation.

What’s in the Box?
First things first, what do you get when you crack open this box? Inside, you’ll find everything you need to custom-build a set of headers for your Chevy LS engine. We’re talking high-quality, mandrel-bent 304 stainless steel tubing, designed to withstand extreme conditions and ensure maximum durability. The kit includes:
- Pre-bent primary tubes
- Collector assemblies
- Laser-cut flanges
- Oxygen sensor bungs
- And all the necessary hardware
That’s right, folks, it’s a complete package, engineered to provide you with a perfect fit and optimal performance.
Why Go Custom?
You might be asking, “Why should I go through the hassle of building custom headers when there are plenty of off-the-shelf options?” Well, here’s the deal. Off-the-shelf headers are designed to fit a range of applications, which means they often come with compromises. Custom headers, on the other hand, are tailored to your specific build. You get to control the length and shape of the primary tubes, the placement of the collectors, and the overall design to ensure you’re squeezing every last horsepower out of your LS engine. It’s about achieving the perfect balance of performance and efficiency.
Quality You Can Trust: Made in the USA
When it comes to quality, Stainless Headers doesn’t cut corners. Each component in this kit is meticulously crafted from premium materials, ensuring top-notch performance and longevity. And here’s the kicker: it’s all made right here in the USA. That means you’re getting the finest craftsmanship, supported by American ingenuity and rigorous quality standards. So, when you choose Stainless Headers, you’re not just buying parts; you’re investing in a legacy of excellence.
Installation: A Labor of Love
Now, let’s be real. Building custom headers isn’t a walk in the park. It requires precision, patience, and a bit of skill. But hey, that’s why we love this hobby, right? The Chevrolet LS Custom Header Build Kit is designed to make the process as straightforward as possible. With the included hardware and detailed instructions, you’ll be able to tackle this project in your garage without needing a degree in mechanical engineering. Plus, there’s a certain satisfaction that comes from knowing you built something with your own two hands.
The Payoff: Performance and Sound
Here’s the kicker: the payoff. When you fire up your LS engine with these custom headers, you’re not just going to hear the difference; you’re going to feel it. Expect improved exhaust flow, increased horsepower, and torque, and that deep, throaty roar that sends chills down your spine. It’s the kind of upgrade that makes every drive an event.
Final Thoughts
