Long Tube Headers
3" Collector
Made in USA
Overview
Unlock the full potential of your 2005–13 C6 Corvette ZO6 or ZR1 7.0L with the most powerful LS7 headers available from Stainless Works. These headers feature 1-7/8" or 2" diameter 31" long primaries with "D" shaped port-matched flanges and 3" slip-fit collectors. Includes 3" X-pipe, metallic substrate high-flow converters, O2 extensions, AccuSeal clamps, clamp/hanger assemblies, oil cooler lines, compression fittings, zip ties, cable clamps, and more.
For cars running mild head and cam packages, low boost superchargers, or NOS, these headers deliver exceptional performance. Installation will require dropping the front cradle and rerouting the oil cooler lines, but the increase in power will be worth the effort. Our 2" headers were dyno tested on a stock '06 ZO6 and picked up 29 hp and 41 ft/lb with no tuning! When used with a Stainless Works 3" catback, these parts also weigh 40 lbs less than the stock manifolds and exhaust system.
Built from corrosion-resistant 304 stainless steel and fully TIG welded for strength and durability at our state-of-the-art facility in Streetsboro, Ohio — engineered for long-term performance.
