Exhaust Manifolds Set LS Turbo

The HOOKER Exhaust Manifolds Set LS Turbo (Part No. 8510HKR) is a cast iron exhaust manifold system engineered for GM LS-series engines in marine and powersports applications. This kit delivers optimized exhaust flow characteristics essential for turbo-boosted LS powerplants, where manifold design directly influences boost delivery, scavenging efficiency, and overall engine performance.

Cast iron construction provides superior heat capacity and thermal stability compared to lighter alternatives, critical when managing high exhaust temperatures generated by turbocharger operation. The manifold geometry is tuned for LS-series cylinder head ports, ensuring proper runner sizing and merge collector design that supports efficient scavenging and consistent boost response. Weighing 42.8 lbs, the assembly balances durability with practical installation weight for marine engine compartments. The kit format includes all necessary components for a complete turbo manifold installation on compatible LS platforms.

This manifold set addresses builders and operators of turbocharged LS engines in marine, automotive, and off-road applications where reliable, high-flow exhaust management is non-negotiable. It suits both new turbo builds and upgrades on existing LS powerplants seeking improved spool-up characteristics and sustained boost levels. HOOKER's long-standing reputation in the performance exhaust sector makes this kit a proven choice for serious engine builders committed to maximizing turbo system effectiveness.
