Kooks 1-3/4" x 3" stainless long tube headers for the C3 Corvette — opens up the SBC's natural flow that the factory manifolds restrict. The 1-3/4" primary is the sweet-spot for stock to lightly built C3 small blocks. 304 stainless construction stands up to thermal cycling and salt-belt corrosion that destroys mild steel headers in a few seasons. Stamped merge collectors promote consistent flow at the merge.
Fits 1968-1982 Chevrolet Corvette C3 with a small block Chevy (stock 23-degree heads). Bolts directly to standard SBC heads with the stock bolt pattern.
Kooks Headers & Exhaust has been hand-building stainless headers and exhaust systems in Statesville, North Carolina since 1962. Every Kooks header is welded by experienced fabricators in the same shop where the company's NASCAR, NMRA, and Pro Stock racing roots were established. 304 stainless construction handles thermal cycling and corrosion.
Pair with a matching Kooks mid-section. Replacement SBC gaskets (PY-8016-AL) and 3-bolt collector gaskets (PY-8030 / PY-8031) sold separately.
