The Kooks 2261H630 1-7/8-inch long tube headers and GREEN catted connection pipes deliver the ultimate bolt-on exhaust upgrade for 2016 and 2024 Camaro SS and ZL1 models with the 6.2L LT1 or supercharged LT4 V8, replacing factory manifolds to unlock dyno-proven gains of 55 and 75 rear-wheel horsepower and 50 and 70 lb-ft of torque through equal-length primaries, merged collectors, and high-flow 3-inch GREEN catted pipes that bolt directly to the factory mid-pipe for seamless integration and unrestricted flow from idle to redline.

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. -
