Gibson 14-16 Cadillac Escalade Base 6.2L 1-3/4in 16 Gauge Performance Header - Ceramic Coated

The 3/8 inch thick, laser-cut port flanges on these Gibson headers are a solid starting point, designed to prevent warping and leaks right where the header meets the cylinder head. These headers are built from 16-gauge, 409L stainless steel tubing, which is known for its durability and resistance to corrosion, especially when treated with the high-temperature ceramic coating that can handle up to 1300 degrees Fahrenheit. This coating also helps keep underhood temperatures cooler, which can contribute to a more efficient engine operation. They're engineered as a direct replacement for your factory exhaust manifolds, meaning no welding is required for installation, and they use the stock crossover pipe. This makes them a well-suited upgrade for a wide range of vehicles, including trucks and SUVs like the Cadillac Escalade, Chevrolet Silverado, and GMC Sierra.

Gibson tunes these headers on a dyno to help your engine breathe better, aiming for improved usable horsepower and torque, particularly at the low and mid-range RPMs you use most often for highway cruising. The mandrel-bent tubing ensures consistent diameter throughout the pipe, which helps maintain smooth exhaust flow. Because they are designed to work with your factory connections and include premium gaskets and hardware, installation should be straightforward. These headers are also 50-state street legal, meeting both EPA and CARB requirements, and will not void your vehicle's factory warranty. They come backed by a lifetime limited warranty from Gibson, giving you confidence in their long-term performance.
