DSE Stainless Steel LS Sidepipe Headers - 1-7/8 Inch (061006DS) - 1963-1974 Chevrolet Corvette
Build your LS-powered C2 or C3 Corvette around an exhaust system engineered specifically for the Detroit Speed SpeedRay front suspension. Detroit Speed Stainless Steel Sidepipe Headers 061006DS are designed for LS engines installed in 1963-1974 Chevrolet Corvette applications using the DSE SpeedRay suspension. Rather than trying to package a generic LS header around the upgraded front suspension, these application-specific sidepipe headers are engineered for performance, maximum ground clearance, and a clean engine compartment appearance.
Detroit Speed builds 061006DS with 1-7/8-inch primary tubes feeding 4-way merge collectors, combining performance-oriented exhaust routing with high-quality stainless steel construction. The headers are manufactured in the USA specifically for Detroit Speed suspension applications. DSE also offers matching stainless steel side pipes to complete the exhaust system, with polished, black, and ceramic-coated silver sidepipe options available. For LS applications, current Detroit Speed C2/C3 documentation pairs these headers with DSE Engine Mount Kit 060409DS.
