Product Description:
Hawks Motorsports is pleased to offer our clients the 2022-2024 Cadillac CT5-V Blackwing 6.2L 2" x 3" Stainless Steel Long Tube Headers & 3" GREEN Catted X-Pipe, Kooks 2313F632. This Kooks system combines 2" primary long tube headers with 3" collectors, 3" GREEN catted connection pipes and a 3" X-pipe. Constructed from 304 stainless steel mandrel-bent tubing, the system connects to the OEM exhaust near the rear axle, allowing the factory valved mufflers to remain in place.
The Blackwing's supercharged 6.2L is already a pretty serious piece of hardware, so there's no reason to choke it down when you're building the exhaust around performance. These 2" headers step up the primary tube size and feed into a full 3" exhaust path, giving the LT4 a more aggressive setup from the cylinder heads back. Add the GREEN catted connection pipes and X-pipe, keep the factory valved mufflers out back, and you've got a combination that makes sense for a Blackwing owner looking to turn up the attitude without throwing away the factory exhaust valves.
The headers and exhaust tubing are constructed from 304 stainless steel with mandrel-bent tubing. The system uses 2.000" primary tubes, 3" collectors, 3" GREEN catted connection pipes and a 3" X-pipe.
The kit connects to the factory exhaust near the rear axle, allowing the factory valved mufflers to remain in the vehicle. Kooks also specifies that the factory exhaust must be cut for installation, while no welding is required. Gaskets, hardware and clamps required for installation are included.
The GREEN catted configuration distinguishes this kit from Kooks' competition-only version. The GREEN connection pipes use catalytic converters rather than the uncatted competition connection pipes used with 2313F412. The exact emissions certification should be verified for the vehicle's jurisdiction before purchase or installation.
