Product Description:
Hawks Motorsports is pleased to offer our clients the following 2016-2024 Camaro SS/ZL1 LT1/LT4 6.2L 2" x 3" Stainless Steel Long Tube Headers by Kooks, part number 22602600.
When you're building a sixth-gen Camaro that needs to breathe, stepping up to a full set of 2-inch primary long tubes is serious business. These Kooks headers give the LT1 or supercharged LT4 a larger exhaust path through 3-inch collectors, making them a strong foundation for a naturally aspirated or heavily modified combination where restrictive factory manifolds are no longer part of the plan.
Kooks part number 22602600 features 2-inch x 3-inch 304 stainless steel long tube headers for the 2016-2024 Camaro SS LT1 and compatible Camaro ZL1 applications. The manufacturer specifies 2-inch tubing and states that these headers do not connect directly to the OEM exhaust. A compatible Kooks connection pipe or full exhaust system is required to complete the exhaust system.
