Dirt Late Model Headers 1-3/4 - 1-7/8

The Schoenfeld Dirt Late Model Headers 1-3/4 - 1-7/8 are purpose-built exhaust manifolds engineered specifically for dirt late model racing competition. These headers are designed for small block Chevy engines and represent the foundational component of any serious dirt track racing exhaust system. Whether you're running a competitive dirt late model program or building a high-performance street engine with racing heritage, these headers deliver the scavenging efficiency and durability required for consistent power gains and reliable track performance.

Built from heavy-gauge steel and finished in durable black paint, the Dirt Late Model Headers feature stepped primary tubes ranging from 1-3/4 to 1-7/8 inches that optimize exhaust gas velocity across variable RPM ranges. The stepped design promotes scavenging efficiency by matching tube diameter to engine displacement and cylinder firing order characteristics, reducing back-pressure while maximizing power extraction. A 3.5-inch collector consolidates the four primary tubes into a single outlet, creating the ideal transition point for secondary exhaust components. Gaskets and mounting hardware are included, simplifying installation and ensuring proper sealing at the cylinder head interface.

These headers are ideal for dirt late model competitors, weekend warriors, and engine builders seeking OEM-quality exhaust manifolds with racing-grade construction. The pair configuration allows installation on complete engine packages, and compatibility with small block Chevy platforms makes them applicable across a wide range of dirt track classes and street performance builds. Proper installation requires attention to gasket seating and torque specifications; verify collector outlet diameter matches your existing exhaust piping before purchase to ensure seamless integration with your system.
