American Racing Headers

Hi new C5 owner here 1999 Fixed Roof i am looking to install headers on the car and came across a company called American Racing Headers. I have never heard of them but it appears they specialize in corvette headers. Can i get some feedback on there quality, performance gains and sound. Thank you from the new guy

GREAT headers. Current wisdom says to go with the 1 7/8" even on a 346.

I had ARH's installed and love them. From what I was told they go in very easy. There are many solid performers when it comes to headers for our Vet. I would just be a bit weary of some of the lesser expensive one's. You get what you pay for.

They are BY FAR the best headers you will find to this day for your car.

I got them when they first came out in 1 7/8 and they not only sound great but do give you more grunt, even on a blowin setup

One of the best fit and finish headers on the market. One of the easiest to install. They also make great power.

Fantastic headers, beautifully designed and fabricated. I'd buy them again. In fact, they are fabricating some for the TrailBlazer SS and we plan on getting a set.

HPE installed mine along with one of their cams. I went with the 1 3/4in primaries and the 3in x with no cats. The car made 443whp and 399wtq through the stock mufflers, stock ls6 intake, and untouched heads. Here is a link to the dyno vid. The video says 1 7/8 headers but they arent. I am happy with the ARH and they make some power.
