BBK Performance 40000 Silver Ceramic Shorty Tuned Length Headers for 1997-1999 Chevrolet Corvette C5 (LS1) - 1-5/8 in.

Fits 1997-1999 Chevrolet Corvette Base and Indianapolis 500 Pace Car models (LS1).

Replace your restrictive factory exhaust manifolds with BBK Performance shorty tuned length exhaust headers, designed specifically as a direct-fit solution for the early C5 Corvette. These headers utilize 1-5/8 in. CNC mandrel-bent tubing to eliminate flow restrictions, increasing both horsepower and torque. The tuned length design optimizes scavenging waves for improved combustion efficiency and fuel economy compared to stock or equal length alternatives.

Built for long-term durability, these headers feature 3/8 in. laser-cut exhaust flanges to ensure a secure, leak-free seal against the cylinder head. Each unit is robotically and precision hand-welded before undergoing pressure testing to guarantee reliability. The polished silver ceramic coating provides a premium finish while effectively managing under-hood temperatures.
