Product Details

With this Gibson Performance Header, you're getting a set of 1-1/2 inch, 16-gauge, 409L stainless steel primary tubes, complete with a high-temperature ceramic coating designed to handle up to 1300 degrees Fahrenheit. You'll also find heavy-duty 3/8 inch thick laser-cut port flanges, premium gaskets, and all the necessary hardware to get the job done. This header is built to replace your factory exhaust manifolds directly, using the stock crossover pipe and OEM-style connections, meaning no welding is required for installation. It's a well-suited upgrade for a wide range of trucks and SUVs, including models like the 2002-2005 Cadillac Escalade, 2002-2006 Chevrolet Avalanche 1500, and 2002-2013 GMC Sierra 1500.

Gibson designs these headers to help your engine breathe better, which can lead to improved horsepower and torque, especially in the low and mid-range RPMs you use most often during highway driving. The mandrel-bent tubing ensures consistent pipe diameter throughout, preventing restrictions and helping to keep engine temperatures cooler. The thick, laser-cut flanges are built to resist warping and leaking, ensuring a solid seal. Plus, these headers are 50-state street legal, meeting EPA and CARB requirements, so you can install them with confidence.

This header is backed by a lifetime limited warranty from Gibson, giving you peace of mind. While it's designed as a direct replacement, always refer to the manufacturer's installation instructions for any specific details or torque specifications to ensure a proper and lasting installation.
