These Stainless Works header kits are for C6 Corvette Base and C6 Corvette Grand Sport owners who want a complete long-tube header setup that includes high-flow cats and a matched X-pipe/center section, while still mating to the factory 2.5" axle-back connection point. This product grouping covers two Stainless Works part numbers depending on your C6 year range.

Why Stainless Works Leads

• Complete, matched layout (headers + catted leads + X-pipe/center section) designed to fit the undercarriage cleanly
• 304 stainless construction built for repeated heat cycles and corrosion resistance
• Factory-connect approach to the rear section using the OEM 2.5" axle-back connection point

Benefits

• 2" primary size is commonly chosen for higher-output C6 LS2/LS3 combinations
• Includes a matched X-pipe/center section so you are not mixing incompatible mid components
• Provides a long-tube foundation when you are pairing headers with a factory or aftermarket axle-back

What to Expect After Installation / Use

Expect a noticeable increase in exhaust volume and a sharper tone once long tubes and the catted X-pipe are installed. Header installs are labor intensive on the C6 platform; plan for professional-level installation. Calibration needs vary by setup, and tuning is commonly performed after header changes.

• Model years: 2005–2013 (see part-number selection)
• Trim: C6 Corvette Base, C6 Corvette Grand Sport
• Engine code: LS2–LS3
