Kooks 2023+ Cadillac Escalade V 3in H.O. GREEN Catted Conn. Pipes (Req. Kooks Headers)

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

The Kooks 28643400 3-inch H.O. GREEN catted connection pipes complete the exhaust path between Kooks long tube headers and factory mid-pipe on 2023 and 2024 Cadillac Escalade V models with the supercharged 6.2L V8, providing seamless integration that maintains emissions compliance while unlocking the full power gains from header upgrades for dyno-proven improvements in throttle response and mid-range torque.

Handcrafted from T304 aircraft-quality stainless steel with 400-cell high-flow metallic substrate H.O. GREEN catalytic converters, these pipes feature mandrel-bent 3-inch tubing and precision flanges that bolt directly to OEM components for a leak-free seal under boost pressures exceeding 15 PSI. The design supports over 800 HP from tunes or pulley upgrades while preserving the Escalade V's aggressive supercharged growl without drone during highway cruising or towing up to 7,000 lbs.

For Escalade V owners pairing Kooks headers with stock exhaust, the 28643400 connection pipes deliver the essential high-flow, emissions-legal link that maximizes supercharged performance with luxury refinement.

  A: No, designed specifically for Kooks long tube headers
• Q: Is it emissions legal?
  A: Yes, 49-state EPA compliant with H.O. GREEN cats
• Q: How much power does it add?
  A: 20 and 30 RWHP when paired with headers, enhances overall system flow
• 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.
