Flowtech Shorty Headers for Chevy/GMC V8 Ceramic 16‑Gauge Exhaust

Description

Product Overview

Flowtech delivers a high‑performance shorty header system designed specifically for Chevrolet and GMC V8 trucks. Constructed from heavy‑duty 16‑gauge mandrel‑bent tubing, each header provides consistent diameter for smooth airflow and increased exhaust velocity. The ceramic coating reduces heat transfer to surrounding components, while the machined exterior adds a premium look. An OE‑style 2‑1/2″ ball and socket collector connects directly to the factory exhaust head pipe, eliminating the need for cutting or welding.
