Headers replace the cast-iron exhaust manifolds with tubular pipes. This is Stainless Works' long-tube kit in 304 stainless with 1-7/8 inch primaries, 3-inch merge collectors and catalytic converters built in. "Factory Connect" means it is designed to bolt straight to your stock exhaust.

why this one — Choose this version if you are keeping the factory exhaust, since it is built to mate to it and costs $190 less than the Performance Connect kit that needs a Stainless Works exhaust behind it. It is listed for the 5.3L only, carries a lifetime warranty and is made in the USA, with no published horsepower figure. Long tubes are a shop install and want a tune.
