Product Description

Unlock the true performance potential of your C6 Corvette with the Kooks Long Tube Header & Connection Pipe Kit. Designed specifically for 2005–2013 Chevrolet Corvette Base and Grand Sport models, this system improves exhaust flow by replacing the restrictive factory exhaust manifolds and connection pipes with mandrel-bent stainless steel long tube headers. The result is increased horsepower, stronger torque throughout the RPM range, improved throttle response, and a significantly more aggressive exhaust note.

Whether you're building a street car, weekend cruiser, or track-focused Corvette, long tube headers are one of the most effective naturally aspirated performance upgrades available. Kooks has earned a reputation as one of the most respected names in Corvette performance, delivering race-proven engineering, exceptional fitment, and premium American-made quality.

Constructed from T304 aircraft-quality stainless steel and manufactured entirely in the USA, this system is built to withstand years of abuse while delivering the performance gains Corvette enthusiasts demand.

Why Upgrade to Long Tube Headers?

The factory exhaust manifolds on the C6 Corvette are designed around cost, emissions compliance, and packaging constraints. Long tube headers dramatically improve exhaust scavenging, allowing the LS engine to breathe more efficiently and produce more power throughout the entire RPM range. Many Corvette owners consider headers one of the best dollar-for-dollar performance upgrades available, especially when paired with a performance tune, cold air intake, and cat-back exhaust system.
