Kooks 1-7/8" x 3" Long Tube Headers & GREEN Catted Y-Pipe for 2019–2025 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 / GMC Sierra 1500 / Cadillac Escalade 6.2L L87

The Kooks 2863H430 1-7/8-inch long tube headers and GREEN catted Y-pipe kit delivers the complete bolt-on exhaust upgrade for 2019–2025 Chevrolet Silverado 1500, GMC Sierra 1500, and Cadillac Escalade models with the 6.2L L87 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 a high-flow 3-inch GREEN catted Y-pipe that connects directly to the OEM 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 850 HP while maintaining 49-state emissions compliance and improving throttle response for quicker acceleration during towing up to 13,000 lbs or daily highway passing. The precision design preserves ground clearance and heat management for luxury and work trucks alike.

For Silverado, Sierra, and Escalade 6.2L owners seeking immediate power and torque improvements with durable, emissions-legal construction, the 2863H430 kit unlocks the engine's full potential for job sites, trails, or performance driving.
