Kooks 2" x 3" Long Tube Headers & Off-Road Connection Pipes for 2016 and 2024 Chevrolet Camaro SS/ZL1 6.2L LT1/LT4
The Kooks 2-inch x 3-inch long tube headers and off-road (catless) connection pipes kit delivers the maximum-flow bolt-on exhaust upgrade for 2016 and 2024 Chevrolet Camaro SS (LT1) and ZL1 (LT4) models with the 6.2L V8, replacing factory manifolds to unlock dyno-proven gains of 65 and 85 rear-wheel horsepower and 60 and 80 lb-ft of torque through equal-length primaries, merged collectors, and high-flow 3-inch off-road pipes that bolt directly to the OEM mid-pipe for unrestricted flow from idle to redline.
Handcrafted from T304 aircraft-quality stainless steel with 3/8-inch laser-cut flanges and full TIG welds, this race-oriented system supports over 1,000 HP with no catalytic converters for competition use while preserving the Camaro’s aggressive V8 soundtrack without drone. The precision design maintains factory ground clearance and heat shielding for daily-driven performance machines.
For Camaro SS and ZL1 owners who demand championship-level performance for track or off-road competition, the 22606280 kit is the race-winning, complete bolt-on solution trusted by enthusiasts and racers worldwide.

Do Kooks headers require a tune after installation?
Yes. A professional tune is strongly recommended after installing long tube headers. The significant improvement in exhaust flow changes air fuel ratios and requires ECM recalibration to achieve optimal power output and safe 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. -
