GM today announced the new 2005 Corvette will feature the most powerful standard engine ever in Corvett history: the 400 horsepower, 6.0-liter, small-block V-8. The new 6.0-liter LS2 is part of the fourth generation of GM's small-block engines. The small-block debuted in 1955 with 265 cubic inches and 195 horsepower. Since then, this legendary family of engines has been an integral component of Corvette's performance history. Compared to the Gen III-based LS1, the LS2 incorporates several significant changes that help improve performance, reliability and serviceability.

While the foundation has been enhanced, every suspension component that attaches to it has been changed - none of the suspension bits have been carried over from C5. The short-long arm and transverse leaf spring independent suspension design remains, but the control arms, springs, dampers, bushings, stabilizer bars, and steering gear are completely redesigned. The Extended Mobility Tires (EMT) are also new, taking advantage of the latest compound technology for run-flat capabilities, and play a critical role in the tuning of the suspension for maximum handling and a comfortable ride.

The Standard suspension is tuned for a balance of ride comfort and precise handling. The optional F55 Magnetic Selective Ride Control suspension adds to the Standard suspension magneto-rheological dampers that are able to detect road surfaces and adjust the damping rates to those surfaces almost instantly for optimal ride and body control. contains only the pieces from the Headers or Downpipes back to the Mufflers.  It also includes a pair of collector flanges, gaskets and nuts, bolts & gaskets and U-Bolt clamps.  If you do not want to weld the assembly together (welding is recommended), then the clamps can be used - you may find them handy to use during trial fitting also.  

For a really clean look without welding (If you just don't have any way to weld) is to use Band Clamps, and order a set of our Performance Collector reducers to come off the header, then use pipe connectors (PIPC3030 for 3" tubing or PIPC2525 for 2.5" tubing), then the "X" Crossover Kit (this method will involve using 8-10 clamps depending on if clamps are used on the front of the mufflers).  This will involve some extra expense, but might be as cheap if you had to pay someone to do the welding. This includes the "X" Junction, the Aft Pipes going back to the muffler, the Forward Pipes going forward  to the Headers or Downpipes, Collector Flanges and Gaskets.  The flanges will need to be welded to the front of the fore pipe during installation.  This is necessary to aid in installation with headers that are not straight back.
