Maximum Flow, Full Emissions Compliance: Long Tube Power Without the Compromise

The Kooks 2180H640 2-inch x 3-inch long tube headers and H.O. GREEN catted OEM connection pipes kit delivers the ultimate mid-engine exhaust upgrade for 2020 and 2025 Chevrolet Corvette C8 Stingray models with the LT2 6.2L V8, replacing factory manifolds to unlock dyno-proven gains of 40 and 60 rear-wheel horsepower and 35 and 55 lb-ft of torque through equal-length primaries, merged collectors, and high-flow 3-inch x 2-3/4-inch OEM outlet H.O. GREEN catted pipes that bolt directly to the factory exhaust for seamless integration and unrestricted flow from low-end torque to high-RPM redline.

Handcrafted from T304 aircraft-quality stainless steel with 3/8-inch laser-cut flanges, full TIG welds, and 400-cell metallic substrate H.O. GREEN catalytic converters, this system supports over 850 HP while remaining 49-state emissions compliant and preserving the C8's exotic flat-plane V8 soundtrack without drone. The precision design maintains factory ground clearance and heat shielding for daily-driven supercars without sacrificing the aggressive roar during track sessions or spirited drives.

For C8 Stingray owners who demand race-winning performance with street-legal reliability, the 2180H640 kit is the championship-proven, complete bolt-on solution trusted by Corvette enthusiasts worldwide.

  • Q: Does this fit the 2025 Stingray?
    A: Yes, direct bolt-on for all 2020 and 2025 C8 Stingray with LT2 6.2L
  • Q: Will it cause a check engine light?
    A: No, H.O. GREEN cats and extensions maintain proper O2 function
  • Q: How loud is the exhaust?
    A: Exotic flat-plane V8 scream at high RPM, refined and drone-free at cruise
  • Do Kooks headers require a tune after installation?

  • 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.
