Corvette American Racing Headers
American Racing Headers for C5, C6, C7, and C8 Corvette
American Racing Headers Corvette systems are built for owners who want premium stainless steel construction, improved exhaust flow, and fitment designed around the correct Corvette generation, engine, and trim. This collection includes long-tube headers and matched exhaust sections for C5, C6, C7, and C8 Corvette models. Start with your exact Corvette, then choose the primary size, catalytic converter configuration, and system length that match your build.
Choose the Right ARH Header System
- 1-3/4-inch primaries: A strong choice for many street-driven Corvettes where throttle response and balanced airflow are the main goals.
- 1-7/8-inch primaries: A popular choice for performance street builds, modified engines, and owners planning additional airflow upgrades.
- 2-inch primaries: Best suited to higher-output combinations with greater exhaust-flow demands.
- Catted systems: Include compatible high-flow catalytic converters for owners who want a more street-focused exhaust configuration.
- Catless systems: Intended for race or off-road use where permitted. Vehicle-use and emissions restrictions vary by location.

Why Corvette Owners Choose American Racing Headers
- Premium stainless steel construction: ARH systems use 304 stainless steel, substantial flanges, and mandrel-bent tubing for durability and consistent fit.
- Matched exhaust sections: Many systems include headers and a compatible mid-section or X-pipe designed to connect with the remaining exhaust.
- Multiple primary sizes: Available tube sizes make it possible to match the system to the Corvette’s engine output and planned modifications.
- Corvette-specific fitment: Each system is designed around the correct generation, engine, trim, underbody layout, and connection points.
What to Consider Before Ordering
- Confirm generation, trim, and engine: C5, C6, C7, and C8 header systems do not interchange, and Z06 and ZR1 models often require different parts than standard models.
- Choose the correct primary size: Match the tube diameter to the engine, current modifications, expected power level, and future build plans.
- Check catted or catless configuration: Confirm the catalytic converter option, intended vehicle use, and local emissions requirements before ordering.
- Plan the complete exhaust path: Review how the headers, mid-section, X-pipe, and factory or aftermarket rear exhaust connect.
- Review tuning requirements: Long-tube header installations commonly require or benefit from engine calibration changes.
- Consider professional installation: Header installation may require specialized tools, careful oxygen-sensor and wiring placement, and additional heat-management planning.
