Default Tri-y 4/2/1 hearders for C5 Corvette????

Is someone know where to find Tri-y headers?

I know that bassani sold one.

I thing that QTP have stop to sold there model.

What so few tri-y headers for sale?

Are all corvette guys want only top end HP?

Who know dealer to contact?

Thank a lot for your help.

I looked in the last month or so and found nothing. I called a few companies and dealers and still found nothing. Keep an eye on the used parts section and other online sale sites. Good luck finding what you are looking for.

Why would I want low-end power? I'm not towing a boat.

I think Belanger used too or may still make the 4/2/1 headers.

off the line, or out of corners for road and roll racing

I'll downshift. And for any corner that I have to exit at low-RPM in first gear, I'd probably just be spinning the tires if I wasn't judicious with the throttle, regardless of how much low-end HP I could generate.

Yes but you still need low end torque in the 2000 to 5000 rpm range, each shift is 1/4 sec lost,

i only run about 410 rwhp and 405-7 rwtq, and can almost out run any C6Z from 40 to 100 mph, ( red line 3rd gear ) after that I am toasted.

first gear in the MN6 or MN12 is too low, use 2nd.

back to OP

I think the challenge with the tri-y headers was having enough room so they fit.

I found a huge difference in low end an no penalty in top end hp. Pretty good trade in my book.

Anything over 420ft/lb of RWT at 2k RPM is a waste.

Because I don't succeed to found an other tri-y header than Bassani. I will try to make it... And for that, I'm looking for Inconel pipe. Don't need to be coated for preventing heat. Better thermal resistance...

I just need time and some money....

Christian, I'm waiting for your tiger shark front facia photos I would like to see all that nobody show of the attachement and interior view, please

Contact Barry at QTP, maybe they have an old set laying around or know where to get their hands on a set.

I didnt even know they made 4/2/1 headers for LS motors. Wouldnt that hurt exhaust scavenging? Ive only seen shorties or full length primaries to a collector.

hmm, sounds interesting, whats a tri-y header?

I like the idea of more low end torque versus high end horse power!

anyone have any pics or can point me in the direction of researching this?
