Hawks Motorsports is pleased to offer our clients the following 2016-2024 Camaro SS/ZL1 LT1/LT4 6.2L 3" Stainless Steel Competition-Only OEM Connection Pipes by Kooks, part number 22603100.

If your sixth-gen Camaro is already running Kooks long tubes and you're building the exhaust for competition use, these 3-inch connection pipes keep things moving without catalytic converters in the way. The stainless pipes run from the Kooks headers back to the OEM-size exhaust connection, giving your LT1 or LT4 Camaro a clean path to tie the front of the exhaust system into the rest of the setup.

Kooks part number 22603100 features 3-inch x 2-3/4-inch OEM Competition Only Stainless Steel Connection Pipes with Torca SwivelSeal Connections. The manufacturer specifies 304 stainless steel construction, requires Kooks Long Tube Headers, and states that the factory exhaust must be cut for installation.
