Kooks 1-7/8" x 3" Long Tube Headers & Off-Road X-Pipe for 2014–2019 Chevrolet Corvette C7 LT1 6.2L
The Kooks 1-7/8-inch long tube headers and off-road (catless) X-pipe kit delivers maximum flow for 2014–2019 Corvette C7 Stingray, Grand Sport, and Z06 models with the dry-sump LT1 6.2L V8, unlocking dyno-proven gains of 65–85 rear-wheel horsepower and 60–80 lb-ft of torque through equal-length primaries, merged collectors, and a high-flow 3-inch off-road X-pipe that bolts directly to the OEM NPP dual-mode exhaust for unrestricted flow from idle to redline.
Handcrafted from T304 aircraft-quality stainless steel with 3/8-inch laser-cut flanges and full TIG welds, this race-oriented system supports over 900 HP with no catalytic converters for competition use while preserving the C7's exotic V8 soundtrack without drone. The precision design maintains factory ground clearance and heat shielding for track-day or street-driven supercars.
For C7 LT1 owners who demand championship-level performance for track or off-road competition, the 2170H530 kit is the race-winning, complete bolt-on solution trusted by Corvette racers worldwide.
