16 Gauge T304 Stainless 3 Inch Short Dump for Controlled Exhaust Exit Routing
The 9103 is a 3 inch short exhaust turnout dump measuring 6 inches in length, fabricated from 16 gauge T304 stainless steel for the combination of rigidity and heat resistance that an open exhaust exit demands. Short dump turnouts are an essential component for performance builders routing exhaust exits through tight chassis locations, race car floor pans, or performance street builds where side exit or under car exhaust termination is preferred over a conventional rear exit. The turnout geometry of this turnout directs exhaust gases downward or outward in a controlled angle, protecting adjacent chassis components and keeping hot exhaust gases away from body panels.
The 16 gauge T304 stainless construction of the 9103 provides the wall thickness to resist denting and damage in the exposed exit position while keeping the component lightweight. At 3 inches, this turnout is sized for the most common performance V8 exhaust tube diameter, making it compatible with the widest range of performance builds from factory based Camaro and Mustang exhaust systems to custom fabricated race car exhausts. The weld on inlet connects to the terminating end of your 3 inch exhaust tubing in a clean, permanent joint. For any builder who needs a 3 inch stainless short dump, this turnout is the direct Kooks solution.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the wall thickness of this turnout?
This turnout is fabricated from 16 gauge T304 stainless steel. 16 gauge provides a robust wall thickness for an exhaust exit component that is exposed to full exhaust temperature and road debris without the added weight of heavier gauge material.
What pipe size does this turnout connect to?
This turnout inlet is 3 inches, designed for weld on connection to 3 inch exhaust tubing.
What is the total length of this turnout?
This turnout is 6 inches from the inlet connection to the outlet opening.
How does a short dump turnout work?
The turnout exits the exhaust gases in a downward or outward direction relative to the exhaust pipe axis. The angled exit keeps hot exhaust gases directed away from chassis components, bumpers, and tires while providing a compact, clean termination for the exhaust system.
Is this turnout suitable for drag racing?
Yes. Short dump exits are commonly used in drag racing applications where a muffler is not required or where an exhaust bypass configuration is used on a combination that runs both open headers and a muffled setup depending on the venue.
Can I use this turnout on a street driven car?
Yes, in terms of fitment. Keep in mind that a short open dump exit without a muffler downstream will produce very high noise levels that may not be legal for public road use in most jurisdictions.
How is this turnout installed?
Weld this turnout inlet to the terminating end of the 3 inch exhaust tubing. Confirm the exit angle clears all surrounding components before completing the final weld.
What is the difference between this turnout and the 9105?
This turnout is 3 inches in diameter while the 9105 is 3.5 inches. Both are 6 inch short dump turnouts in T304 stainless. Choose based on the pipe diameter of your exhaust system.
Is this turnout sold as a single piece?
Yes. Order two for a dual exhaust application.
Will the 16 gauge construction hold up to racing use?
Yes. 16 gauge T304 stainless is appropriate for racing exhaust applications. The combination of wall thickness and stainless alloy provides structural integrity and heat resistance adequate for high performance use.
Installation Instructions
- Determine the exhaust exit location, noting that this turnout turnout exit angle must clear tires, body panels, and chassis components.
- Cut the 3 inch exhaust tubing to the desired termination point.
- Position this turnout inlet end onto the cut exhaust tube end and orient the exit angle as desired.
- Confirm exit clearance with the vehicle at ride height and full suspension travel range if applicable.
- Tack weld to set the position.
- Complete a full circumference weld at the inlet joint using T304 compatible filler.
- Allow the weld to cool and inspect for any gaps before starting the engine.
