C5 Tri-Y Headers ?
I looked and can't find any C5 Tri-Y headers. JBA, Kooks, Hooker; nothing. Called Doug Thorley and they went so far as to tell me they don't do corvettes at all. Wouldn't even let me pay them to make a custom pair of Tri-Y. Also searched the forum and didn't find anything; did I miss something? 
It's not that I don't like long tubes. I just run an essentially stock C5 and the acoustics and low end torque benefits of the Tri-Y would suit the car.
Thanks in advance!

Pfadt used, they got bought out. Unsure if buyer makes them still.
100% agree, all over tri-y's, almost built my own.

You could go shorty headers. That's what I did on my Z06 and had a noticeable improvement.

Haven't seen a Tri-Y header system in a long time.

The Pfadt's are still made and sold by AFE

Thanks guys! That is exactly what I was looking for. 
Will get my torque tube upgrade parts ordered and ready to go... Thinking I'll do that at the same time as my headers/exhaust.
