For applications or projects where our existing LS and LT swap manifolds don't quite fit or you need an exit point further forward in the engine bay to avoid the steering shaft, a starter, or some other component, our new "center dump" cast iron swap manifolds are the solution. Cast out of the same Hi-Silicon-Moly Ductile Iron as our 8502HKR and BHS516 lineup, it will be tough to find a more durable, streamlined, and quiet exhaust option. Available in natural cast, silver ceramic, or black ceramic finishes, these manifolds are offered with flanges, gaskets, and flange hardware for connecting to our lineup of adapter pipe kits. This not only allows for the easy addition of catalytic converters but also makes it simple to connect to our many exhaust system options.

Features:

  • 2.50-Inch outlet diameter offers improved flow for maximum performance from a cast iron exhaust manifold
  • Tight tuck design that provides a more forward exit compared to our standard swap manifolds (see pictures for diagram and specs)
  • Intended for GM LT engine swap applications where durability, quiet operation, and leak-free sealing is desired
  • Available in Natural as-cast finish for a factory appearance, silver ceramic, or black ceramic
  • Cast from Hi-Silicon-Moly Ductile Iron to provide durability and corrosion resistance
  • Perfect complement to Hooker engine swap mount plates and Holley engine swap oil pans
  • Hardware included: Nickel plated steel mating flanges, MLS mating flange gaskets, and mating flange hardware
Specifications:
  • Bolt Size: M8 x 1.25 x 25mm

Who is Hooker Headers?

Hooker Headers is a company founded by Gary Hooker in 1962. It started when he decided to design a header for his 409 Chevrolet. Soon after, he realized a demand for headers in his area and decided to produce them commercially. Starting with a few employees in a building in South Ontario, CA, Hooker Headers was born.

Simple Yet Effective Design

The company’s philosophy is simple, to produce a header design that would make real and usable power by balancing the exhaust and intake pressure waves. It allows the engine to expel the burnt gas and draw in air for a better fuel and air mixture. This philosophy is evident to all of their products, making them one of the most sought-after brands.

Racing Heritage

During the 1960s and 1970s, Hooker Headers dominated the drag racing scene as almost all of the NHRA Pro Stock cars are using Hooker Headers. It is also used by legendary racers Bill “Grumpy” Jenkins, Sox & Martin, and Bob Glidden and was a regular during their campaigns. Up to this day, Hooker Headers holds the claim of the winningest header in drag racing history.
