Kooks Race Headers 1 7/8" x 3" Chevrolet Corvette 97-04

Kooks specializes in high performance exhaust systems for domestic cars and trucks. Kooks manufactures exhaust systems ranging from Custom built headers for race applications to bolt on systems for production cars.

The Chevrolet Corvette is an American icon of domestic automotive performance. Its V8 rear wheel drive layout makes it the ideal layout for a sports car. V8 engines are loved by car enthusiasts not only for their performance but their classic rumbling exhaust note. Kooks exhaust products give your vehicle that extra boost in power, throttle response, and sound. Any large displacement engine is capable of moving large quantities of air, the key is eliminating and reducing restriction along the way. The factory exhaust system is one of these restrictions. Not only does it hinder power and throttle response, but it also chokes off the amazing V8 rumble the Corvette is capable of producing.

Exhaust headers play an important roll in a performance car. Exhaust headers bolt to the cylinder head and direct exhaust gasses immediately leaving the combustion chamber from the engine to the collector and eventually the exhaust pipe. Factory exhaust manifolds are not created to maximize performance or offer an attractive sound. Cost reduction and ease of manufacture both take precedence in mass production. These compromises made to please the average consumer greatly reduce the power felt by the automotive enthusiast who seeks more horsepower, torque, and sound. Unlike most factory ???log??? exhaust manifolds Kooks headers flow individually from each cylinders exhaust port before merging at the collector. Headers take exhaust flow and performance to the next level beyond just a catback exhaust system. Many factors must be taken into consideration when designing exhaust headers: pipe diameter, length of primaries, stepped or non-stepped design, and collector style, all while needing to fit within the confines of the crowded engine bay. After market exhaust headers can have a huge impact not only on power and sound, but the power band as well. Most Kooks headers are available with several different tube and collector diameters depending on your power goals and driving style. Kooks headers take your exhaust system to the next level and will provide more horsepower and torque because of with their increased flow.
