Kooks 1-7/8" x 3" Long Tube Headers & GREEN Catted Connection Kit for 2005–2006 Pontiac GTO 6.0L LS2
The Kooks 2412H420 1-7/8-inch long tube headers and GREEN catted connection kit delivers the complete bolt-on exhaust upgrade for 2005–2006 Pontiac GTO models with the 6.0L LS2 V8, replacing factory manifolds to unlock dyno-proven gains of 50–65 rear-wheel horsepower and 45–60 lb-ft of torque through equal-length primaries, merged collectors, and high-flow 3-inch GREEN catted pipes that bolt directly to the OEM mid-pipe for seamless integration and unrestricted flow from idle to redline.
Handcrafted from T304 aircraft-quality stainless steel with 3/8-inch laser-cut flanges, full TIG welds, and 400-cell metallic substrate GREEN catalytic converters, this system supports over 800 HP while remaining 49-state emissions compliant and preserving the GTO's aggressive V8 soundtrack without drone. The precision design maintains factory ground clearance and heat shielding for daily-driven muscle cars.
For Pontiac GTO owners who demand championship-level performance with street-legal reliability, the 2412H420 kit is the race-winning, complete bolt-on solution trusted by LS enthusiasts worldwide.
