Do the Long Tube Sport Headers fit both the Stingray and the E-Ray?

Yes. They fit the C8 Corvette Stingray from 2020 and the E-Ray from 2023, both with the 6.2-liter LT2 V8. You choose the correct version by model year at checkout, either 2020-2023 or 2024-and-newer, so match that to your car's year before ordering the Long Tube Sport Headers.

Do these headers keep the catalytic converters?

Yes. The headers bolt directly to the factory catalysts, so the car keeps its emissions hardware. They are not CARB approved, though, so they cannot be sold or shipped to California or other CARB states, and EPA anti-tampering compliance has not been evaluated. Check your local rules before buying.

Fabspeed does not list a tune as required to install the headers, and because they keep the factory catalysts the stock emissions setup stays intact. A calibration can still help you get the most from the added flow, so many owners pair headers with a tune, but confirm current tuning guidance with Fabspeed for your model year.

How much power do they add?

On Fabspeed's dyno the headers added 25 crank horsepower, about 20 at the wheels, at 6300 rpm, along with 21 lb-ft of torque at 3300 rpm, so the gains build from the mid-range up to redline. The freer primaries and merge collectors are what free that power over the restrictive factory headers.

Do I need the thermal blankets?

They are optional, not required. Long-tube headers radiate a lot of heat, so Fabspeed offers 2200-degree thermal blankets to keep engine-bay temperatures down and protect nearby components, and recommends them. You can run the headers without blankets, but many C8 owners add them for heat management in the tight mid-engine bay.

Is it a bolt-on, and should I pair it with an exhaust?

The headers are a direct bolt-on replacement for the factory hydroformed headers, with no cutting or welding, using the factory catalyst connection. Headers free the most power as part of a system, so many C8 owners pair them with a Fabspeed cat-back for the full gain in flow and sound. A lift makes the install much easier.

Description

Fabspeed Long Tube Sport Headers for C8 Chevrolet Corvette E-Ray and Stingray

Fabspeed’s Long Tube Sport Headers for the Chevrolet C8 Corvette E-Ray and Stingray are a top-tier performance upgrade, offering a significant improvement over the restrictive factory headers. These precision-tuned headers are designed for optimal exhaust flow, providing sustained performance gains and an exotic muscle car tone that embodies the raw power of the Corvette. Created using 3D laser scanning and CAD technology in-house, Fabspeed has meticulously engineered these headers to enhance the driving experience while maximizing engine output. The Long Tube Sport Headers serve as a direct replacement for the bulky, restrictive hydroformed OEM GM C8 factory headers, featuring a higher-flow design that has been proven through extensive dyno testing. This design results in a noticeable increase in both power and the aggressive exhaust note of the Corvette. Fabspeed also recommends their military-spec thermal blankets to manage engine bay temperatures and protect key components. This combination of power, precision, and heat management makes these headers an essential upgrade for any C8 owner seeking to elevate their vehicle’s performance.

Sound

Nothing quite compares to the sound of a set of quality equal-length headers on a Chevy V8. These headers provide the C8 with a moderate increase in volume and a significant enhancement in muscle car tone.

Power

After extensive dyno testing and incremental design refinements, the team achieved dyno gains of 25 crank hp (20whp) at 6300rpm and +21.37 crank torque (17.1ft/lbs) at 3300rpm. Best of all, the power gains are evident across the entire power band.

Additional Information

The Bulletproof Automotive website contains many thousands of products purchased in multiple different currencies. All of the prices are entered manually and accurately at the time of entry. Due to the consistently fluctuating international exchange rates, at times prices may not be able to be honored at their original intended rate. We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause, unfortunately our website is unable to compensate dynamically for what can at times be volatile changes in the cost of items due to currency values fluctuating, changes in prices from suppliers, changes in shipping and import duties, and other factors. Rest assured that any order you place on line will be at zero risk to you in this area. If in the event your order cannot be fulfilled at the original intended website price we will offer you a 100% refund, no questions asked. We will continue to do our best to maintain updated prices and we will always continue to offer our price match guarantees as well to ensure our prices are always the best for you. In short, prices may change without notice. It is always advised to give us a call prior to placing your order online to confirm availability and to confirm current pricing.

Shipping Policy

Items that are in stock in the US, either at Bulletproof’s warehouse or at a supplier’s warehouse, are generally delivered within 7-10 days. Special order items from overseas take considerably longer. As a courtesy Bulletproof offers delivery estimates to our customers which take into consideration manufacturer availability and shipping schedule. These estimates represent our best guess based on previous orders from the manufacturer and do not in any way imply a guaranteed delivery window. Many manufacturers work in a “just in time” inventory system and often take 2-20+ weeks to produce an item once an order is submitted. All deliverable items are then sent to our Japanese warehouse. Bulletproof ships a minimum of one full ocean freight container every month from Japan, oftentimes more than one a month. Ocean freight takes an average of 4 weeks. Typically it breaks down to one week in Japan for paperwork and customs, two weeks by boat and one week in US customs/clearance. Due to the wide number of variables between manufacturer and shipping schedules, delivery estimates are simply just that – estimates. We attempt to estimate conservatively and we usually deliver faster than our estimates suggest. It is not Bulletproof’s policy to guarantee delivery time of any special order item, this is impossible for us to do. By ordering you acknowledge that there is no required delivery ETA and an order may not be canceled or altered due to manufacturing or shipping delays, all ETA’s are provided as a best guess only. Please review the full Terms & Conditions here.

BP Pricing Difference

We do pricing a little differently on our JDM brands and we believe in making things simple and clear. No hidden fees or surcharges. Every price you see includes the shipping cost to our office in Los Angeles, California and all the associated taxes/duties/fees for bringing the products into the US. The only shipping you ever pay is from our facility in the US to your location. Be wary of resellers that don’t include the cost of international shipping in their pricing on JDM parts. While we believe we’ll always have the lowest all-in price on JDM products, we offer a price match guarantee for all authentic parts purchased from authorized dealers as well. For many international customers, it’s much more affordable to ship from the USA than from Japan directly, as the air freight and ocean freight costs are typically much less. However, for customers looking to ship directly from Japan outside of North America, or domestically in Japan, we can provide pricing specifically for that scenario. Please do not hesitate to contact us with any pricing questions or concerns. Please email us at sales@bulletproofautomotive.com with any inquiries.
