2016-2019 Cadillac CTS-V Long Tube Headers: Stainless Works 2" Primaries with 3" Catted Leads
Unlock your 2016-2019 Cadillac CTS-V's 6.2L LT4 supercharged V8 with the Stainless Works long tube header kit, model. Crafted in the USA from durable 304 stainless steel, this system features precision port-matched flanges and mandrel-bent 2-inch primaries that connect to high-flow catalytic converters. The design flows into 3-inch lead pipes with slip-fit collectors, an integrated X-pipe crossover for balanced exhaust scavenging, and flanged connections that bolt directly to factory or aftermarket exhaust components. This kit stands out for its seamless integration, reducing backpressure for quicker turbo spool and sharper acceleration ideal for spirited drives or autocross runs where every second counts.
Built to last with full TIG welding for leak-free performance and a lifetime warranty on materials and craftsmanship, these headers outperform stock manifolds by promoting free exhaust flow from the engine bays. The corrosion-resistant construction handles heat cycles and road salt, ensuring reliability season after season. Whether pairing with stock axlebacks or upgrading to a full catback, this system delivers the most direct path to measurable power on dyno sheets and stopwatches.

Headers & Manifolds
Performance headers and exhaust manifolds are among the most effective bolt-on upgrades for improving exhaust scavenging, increasing horsepower, and giving your engine a more aggressive exhaust note. Whether you're building a street machine, a track car, or a diesel work truck, the right header or manifold set unlocks real performance gains across the RPM range. Popular Upgrades Top-selling header and manifold products include long-tube headers from BBK and Kooks for V8 muscle cars and trucks, stainless steel shorty headers from Stainless Works for tight engine bay fitments, high-flow cast iron exhaust manifolds for diesel platforms from BD Diesel and ATS Diesel, and turbo manifolds from aFe Power and Invidia for forced-induction builds requiring optimized turbo positioning. What is the difference between long-tube and shorty headers? Long-tube headers route exhaust primaries farther down the chassis before merging at a collector, which improves mid-range and top-end power but requi...
