East Coast Supercharging 1997-2004 5.7 Liter C5 Corvette Supercharger Systems
With the ECS C5 Supercharger System, you get a system designed to work with your factory cooling system, and retains provision for factory, or after market oil coolers. Including things that greatly add to reliability, such as heavy duty belt tensioners and steel double bearing idlers, as well as stainless steel hardware, high quality silicone hoses and high grade, stainless steel t-bolt clamps. All things, that are more often than not, considered upgrades on some other systems.
Belt System
When you install a SC System on your C5, you dramatically increase the load on the vehicles belt system. That’s why they start their C5 system by addressing one of the most critical aspects of a centrifugal supercharging system – not addressed by some other SC manufacturers. Including a super strong, custom belt tensioner designed, specifically, to handle the increased belt load by providing zinc coated steel, double walled ball bearing idlers to replace the factory plastic idlers that are expected to handle the belt load in lesser systems.
Strong and Functional Brackets
ECS uses a proprietary bracket system that provides the most belt wrap possible, while still being user friendly enough to enable easy and fast belt changes when necessary. The ECS brackets are made in house from 3/4 in billet aluminum and include steel idlers along with a stout slide idler, allowing maximum belt wrap and traction.
The Highest Efficiency Intercooler
The C5 Corvette is a “front breather”. Meaning all the air that cools your radiator and AC condenser passes through the nose of the car. That’s why ECS started from scratch when designing our intercooler. The large 17 x 3.5 x 8 in core has proven to support more than 1000 hp, and still provides adequate airflow across the front of the car to allow your AC and cooling systems to keep the car operating as it should, without the added cost of a larger radiator and fans. With the ECS intercooler you won’t need to scoop additional air from the bottom of the car in the attempt to manage heat. Doing this only causes lift on the nose of the car and disturbs the air flow as it was designed in the C5. The Intercooler features a 3 inch inlet and a 4 inch outlet to maximize cooling and airflow that so critical to your supercharged Corvette.
Top Rate Materials
Stainless steel hardware, brand new flow matched injectors, zinc coated steel idlers, 6061 aluminum ducting, stainless steel t-bolt hose clamps, high quality 4 ply silicone hoses, lifetime air filters…. Other kits in the market will use modified stock injectors, plastic idlers, factory belt tensioners, steel ducting, and lesser quality materials, then give you options that are available to cure a known issue or present revision after revision to try and offset shortcomings in design. At ECS we do our best to do it right the first time. Not offer revision after revision in an attempt resolve known shortcomings in design.
Head Unit Options
The Paxton Novi 1500 has been the core of our C5 system for a number of years. This head unit features a self contained oiling system, and super quiet operation making it the top option for most customers. While many customers choose the ECS Supercharging System for its unmatched features and reliability, others choose the ECS Package because it presents far more growth potential that any other supercharging system for the Corvette. Almost any system can deliver 500 rwhp on a factory LS1/LS6, but how many of them can exceed 700rwhp? ECS can.
Possibly the best feature of the Novi 1500, is the scalable power it provides. It will provide 500-600 rear wheel horsepower on otherwise stock C5’s, but when uncorked, it can provide enough boost to generate more than 800 rear wheel horsepower on a properly set up engine. Other manufacturers start off with less expensive, and smaller head units that don’t present nearly the power output of the Novi 1500 leaving you in a situation that when you want more power, you will need to purchase a completely new head unit ($3000+) or a blower cam package ($2500+) to come close to the power the base ECS kit provides.
If you are looking to support above what our base Novi 1500 can support, our bracket system is compatible with several Novi head units to support upwards of 1,300+ whp depending on the application. Our brackets will work with the following head units:

Let customers speak for us
from 234 reviews![Carven 03-22 Lexus GX460/470 2.5in Dump Exit Kit w/ 3in Dump Tip](https://cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/0384/8208/3980/files/c90880e511f28152d33760195aed722b_450x450.jpg?v=1693241699)
The product was originally marked for 2005 and up gx470. I managed to fit it into my 2003 by flipping one of the front hanger mounts. Sound is throaty and deep a bit loud at first. But the sound has mellowed out after a few hundred miles. Hardest part was removing old exhaust had to use Sawzall. Make sure to buy the 2.5 donut gasket ahead of time. The system is high clearance. Its tucked between the frames no chance of hang ups.

It’s the best mod I’ve done. Should have been the first thing I did.

The combination of great service from Brian and the quick arrival I highly recommend FI Performance and will definitely be using them in the future!

Brian recommended these end links after sharing my plans to do some HPDE, Autocross and Street driving for the C5 Z06. The parts feel great, I did have a warranty issue that was addressed by both Brian and AFE, I was very satisfied that they took care of my issue in a timely manner as well. Highly recommend both Brian and AFE, thank you as always for your help!

Brian definitely knows his stuff, he recommended these after asking what my plans were for the car. This is a huge upgrade to my C5 Z06 and the ride quality is tight and feels great!

I purchased a kit from Brian with Swift springs. I must say that the quality, fitment and easy install was awesome.
Beeing a racercar driver I have dealt with many sorts of coil over kits. I have also attended to several car/racecar projects. So my experience with coil over systems is wide. Like Reigers from wrc, Øhlins, Team Dynamics etc etc..
The installation is easy but use time to do things properly.
Very lightweight but also seems very well built dampers.
It is easy to adjust height and stiffness. But I will recommend to do this very carefully and with some patience.
Brian is a very nice guy and very fast to answear questions. So thumbs up for him.
All in all I would highly recommend this product. My Z06 did get a much better grip and feel in corners and the car became perfect on bumpy tarmac roads.
No need to scroll the internet for several different brands. This is a great value for the money to any use of your car.
Thanks again Brian for great service and a great product.

These have been great for me. I haven't taken them to the track yet, but they ride very nice and can go lower than you'll want to!

Shipped super quick, customer service is always fantastic. Mounts themselves fit great and will help put down all the power. Paired with their engine mounts it will add some NVH, but nothing extreme. I cant hear it over the bald eagles anyways

Brian got me all fixed up I was having a lot of trouble getting this oil pan locked down from other places and he was able to get me the full story on why it was so difficult to get but he got me on the list for one and got it in about two weeks including production time this place is great!
