C5 Corvette Z06 American Racing Headers 1-3/4" (2001-2004)
The American Racing Headers 1-3/4" Long Tube Header System is engineered for the 2001–2004 C5 Corvette Z06 and its high-revving LS6 V8. This complete long tube system replaces the factory manifolds and restrictive mid-section with a performance-optimized exhaust path that improves exhaust scavenging, throttle response, and overall engine efficiency.
The system runs from the cylinder heads to the rear axle connection point, where it mates to the OEM or aftermarket over-axle / axle-back exhaust. The included 3" X-pipe mid-section helps balance exhaust pulses while maintaining strong mid-range and top-end power delivery.
