LS Swap Headers Available From Doug Thorley Headers

Doug Thorley Headers manufacturers some of the best performance headers and exhaust systems on the market. With over 60-years of experience, they offer unmatched customer service and some of the best technical header advice in the industry.

Here is a look at the legendary Tri-Y header from Doug Thorley that fits an LS-swapped 1967-’87 Cheverolet or GMC truck.

Founded in 1958, Doug Thorley waisted no time releasing the legendary Tri-Y headers. Arguably one of the best headers ever made, but what makes the Tri-Y header system work? The Tri-Y design utilizes the firing order of the engine which is synchronized with the header pipe. This process maximizes the scavaging effect creating optimum torque and horsepower gains over other header designs.

We talked to Mike Johnson, Sales Manager at Doug Thorley and he said, “The Doug Thorley design actually generates additional momentum for exhaust emission. This means the engine can make more power with less throttle. The Thorley Tri-Y design is specially engineered to be particularly well-suited for pickups, tow vehicles, and RV’s because the gains are tuned in to come in at the mid-range RPM highway speeds. Results include increases in fuel economy, low-end torque, and horsepower as well as reduced back-pressure and engine heat, In other words, the Thorley design actually generates additional momentum for exhaust emission.

One of several hot products that Doug Thorley offers is their LS Swap headers. The universal swap headers are made out of 14-gauge steel tubing with the use of 3/8-inch thick flanges. After the headers are completed, they are then coated with a durable silver ceramic finish. The shortie headers offer a rear swept exit design and fit the GM LS 4.8, 5.3, 6.0, and 6.2-liter engines. The LS Swap headers have 1-5/8-inch primary tube diameter, 2-1/2-inch collectors with a 3-bolt flange design. This is a great way to free up some power and torque for your LS swap project over the factory cast manifolds. The headers will include collector reducers, header gaskets, collector gaskets, bolts, nuts, and washers.
