Kooks 15+ Chevrolet Suburban LT LS LTZ Premier 1-7/8 x 3 Header & Catted Y-Pipe Kit

Kooks 1-7/8" x 3" Long Tube Headers & GREEN Catted Y-Pipe for 2015–2018 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 & GMC Sierra 1500 5.3L

The Kooks 2860H420 1-7/8-inch long tube headers and GREEN catted Y-pipe kit provides the complete bolt-on exhaust upgrade for 2014–2018 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 and GMC Sierra 1500 trucks with the 5.3L V8, replacing factory manifolds to deliver dyno-proven gains of 50–65 rear-wheel horsepower and 45–60 lb-ft of torque through equal-length primaries, merged collectors, and a high-flow 3-inch to OEM outlet GREEN catted Y-pipe that connects directly to the stock mid-section for unrestricted exhaust flow from low-end torque to high-RPM pulls.

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 up to 750 HP while maintaining 49-state emissions compliance and improving throttle response for quicker acceleration during towing up to 10,000 lbs or daily highway passing. The precision design preserves ground clearance and heat management for work-ready trucks without sacrificing the deep V8 rumble that enhances cabin experience.

For Silverado and Sierra 5.3L owners seeking immediate power and torque improvements with durable, emissions-legal construction, the 2860H420 kit unlocks the engine's full potential for job sites, trails, or performance driving.
