Stepped Tri-Y Design
Kooks engineered these headers with a stepped Tri-Y configuration using 1-7/8-inch and 2-inch tubing. This design creates a performance-oriented exhaust path specifically suited to the C8 Z06 application while providing the durability and precise construction expected from a dedicated stainless steel header system.
304 Stainless Steel Construction
The headers are manufactured from 304 stainless steel for excellent strength, durability, and resistance to corrosion. This premium construction makes them well suited for the heat and demanding operating conditions associated with the C8 Z06's high-performance 5.5L engine.
OEM & Kooks Exhaust Compatibility
Flanged collector outlets allow the headers to connect directly to the factory catalytic converters or compatible Kooks connection pipes. This provides flexibility for Z06 owners who want to upgrade the headers while retaining OEM catalytic converters or incorporate additional Kooks exhaust components into the system.
Installation
The headers retain the stock bolt pattern and include the gaskets and bolt kit required for installation. No additional parts are required when installing them with a compatible factory or Kooks exhaust connection.
