Kooks 3" GREEN Catted X-Pipe for 2006 and 2013 Chevrolet Corvette C6 Z06/ZR1 LS7 & LS9 (Requires Kooks Headers)

The Kooks 3-inch GREEN catted X-pipe completes the ultimate exhaust upgrade on 2006 and 2013 Corvette C6 Z06 (LS7 7.0L) and ZR1 (LS9 6.2L supercharged) models, linking Kooks long tube headers directly to the factory NPP dual-mode mid-pipe for seamless integration that maintains 49-state emissions compliance while adding 20 and 30 rear-wheel horsepower and 25 and 35 lb-ft of torque through high-flow 300-cell metallic substrate GREEN catalytic converters and balanced crossover design.

Handcrafted from T304 aircraft-quality stainless steel with 3/8-inch laser-cut flanges and full TIG welds, this X-pipe ensures zero leaks under extreme heat and supports over 1,000 HP while preserving the C6 supercar's exotic high-revving soundtrack with zero drone. The precision design maintains factory ground clearance and NPP valve operation for quiet cruising or track-ready roar.

For C6 Z06 and ZR1 owners pairing Kooks headers with stock exhaust, the 21613301 GREEN catted X-pipe is the essential emissions-legal link that maximizes performance with factory refinement.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • Q: Does this keep NPP valves working?
    A: Yes, full dual-mode NPP function is retained
  • Q: Will it work with factory headers?
    A: No, requires Kooks long tube headers
  • Q: How loud is it?
    A: Extreme high-rev scream in track mode, refined in tour mode
  • Do Kooks headers require a tune after installation?
    Yes. A professional tune is strongly recommended after installing long tube headers. The significant improvement in exhaust flow changes air fuel ratios and requires ECM recalibration to achieve optimal power output and safe operation.
  • Will these headers void my factory powertrain warranty?
    Under the Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act, a manufacturer cannot void your vehicle warranty simply because you installed an aftermarket part unless they prove the component directly caused the failure. Consult your dealer for specifics on your situation.
