QTP 2005-012 C6 Corvette LS2/LS3 Stainless Steel Tri Y 1 3/4" Header

Unleash The Power!

18 Horse Power Gain Over Other Long Tube Headers! Unleash the full potential of your LS2/LS3. The most powerful LS2 header available Gains are up 40 HP and 40 TQ.
At QTP we build only the best header for your car or truck. When we take on a task of making a header for a new application, we spend the time needed to make the best possible header out there. We make sure before it is released of not only the highest quality construction but also the gains our customers expect.

Taking It To The Next Level
Formula 1 and Nascar technology  on the street. Option High Velocity Merge Collectors and Tri Y headers. Built only with the Highest Quality Craftsmanship. We do not make the low end budget header. No corners cut here, ported at the header flange. You wont see left over weld here.

Made Only In Stainless Steel
Stainless steel is non-magnetic, a quality that makes them very important in the aerospace industry. Compared to mild steel, stainless steel has superior high temperature characteristics. It is an excellent material for headers and any application where high heat is encountered.

You may have heard  talk about maintaining high exhaust velocity and increase scavenging by covering headers with a thermal wrap. In addition, there are companies that coat headers with a thermal barrier, typically some type of ceramic formula, in order to keep the heat inside the exhaust system.

Stainless steel performs this function without the need for add-ons because it has a much lower coefficient of thermal conductivity, thereby keeping more heat inside and transmitting it to the header outlet. Radiated heat is perhaps the most important reason to wrap or ceramic coat the headers to protect the car and the driver from excessive, fatiguing high temperatures.

Typical 1010 carbon (mild) steel conducts 219% more heat per foot than do the types of stainless steel we use in header fabrication. By contrast, quite a bit more heat stays inside the stainless header tubes and does not get passed into the surrounding air. By not allowing the contraction of the cooling gases as they flow down the tubes, more exhaust velocity is retained which promotes better scavenging at the collector.

This retention of velocity increases the overall header efficiency. 304 stainless steel has excellent high temperature fatigue resistance in  enclosed application and does a darn good job of living in this hostile environment better than any other material.

These many characteristics, such as superior heat retention properties, high temperature fatigue resistance, and to a lesser extent, the cosmetic value of a non-rusting finish, combine to make stainless steel an ideal choice for headers. Our system will produce more horsepower and last "'til the cows come home"
