Kooks 3" GREEN Catted Connection Pipes for 2016 and 2024 Chevrolet Camaro SS 6.2L LT1 (Use with Kooks Headers & OEM Mufflers/Tips)
The Kooks 22604181 3-inch GREEN catted connection pipes complete the high-flow exhaust upgrade on 2016 and 2024 Camaro SS models with the 6.2L LT1 V8, linking Kooks long tube headers directly to the factory mufflers and tips 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 mandrel-bent tubing.
Handcrafted from T304 aircraft-quality stainless steel with 3/8-inch laser-cut flanges and full TIG welds, these pipes ensure zero leaks under extreme heat and support over 800 HP from tunes or cams without sacrificing ground clearance or daily drivability. The direct bolt-on design retains factory Active Exhaust valve function and OEM quad tips for a clean appearance with factory-style sound control.
For Camaro SS owners pairing Kooks headers with stock mufflers/tips, the 22604181 GREEN catted connection pipes are the essential emissions-legal link that maximizes performance while keeping the factory look and valve 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. -
