Default QTP C5 Tri Y Header Now Available

Well after alot of blood sweet and tears our C5 Tri Y header is done and ready to ship. Took alot longer to make these due to design, but i think they came out real good. Its a long tube tri y design made in 304 stainless steel. I think this perform real well. On our test car it had a torque on demand feel to it.


They come in race style(no air tube fittings), 1997-2000 and 2001-2004.

Price is $1250.00 and will bolt up to a random tech x pipe. We are offering special pricing right now so call on the special.

Any questions that you would like answered its just a phone call

Any test data? Any details on how this connects to stock mid-sections etc? Ground clearance?

It connects to a random tech x pipe. It can mate up to a factory h pipe but with some welding. Ground clearance is excellent. We only have our prototype dynoed and it was just a header change on a z06. It gain 15hp and 10 tq. It gained across the board. This is no tuning. We would like to get these on more cars to get a wide range of dyno numbers. So if your interested give me a call.

The Tri-Y design on these headers looks better than some of the Tri-Y designs shown by others in the past. This should be good for torque. I'm interested to see further dyno numbers also.

Is there 1 tube size (1.75) or are you going to do 1.825 for bigger motors.

What is the primary length, and what is the total tube length with the Y's...

Looks good, and keep us posted...

The primary is an 22 inch equal lenght. I would love to make a 1 7/8 but 4 of those pipes wont have room around the oil pan. I think this style will work well on bigger cude motors as well. I have a local guy getting these installed next week and getting dynoed. So i will post the numbers when i get them.

Funny you should post this now cause I was actually gonna put a post up asking about them. What are the benefits of these as to a traditional LT header? How's the sound?

It will sound a little different than a 4-1 header. I can notice it. You can here the firing and the scavaging of the pulses. I kinda like it. Here is a brief answer on tri y.

So what is a Tri Y Header?
In a TRI-Y header, the primary tubes are paired in a 4-into-2 and 2-into-l formation. This increases the cylinder scavenging effect and improves engine breathing by utilizing the exhaust velocity of one cylinder to help the exhaust velocity of another.

Ill make a video next week on how it sounds.

Unfortunately, my time frame for buying is now out to next winter. However, these are still on my final three list. Do you have any installation instructions you can post or send out? There are some headers that are just too difficult to install in my opinion.
