Kooks 3" x 2-1/2" stainless X-pipe — bridges Kooks 3" long tubes to the OEM-style C5 exhaust. X-pipe geometry balances exhaust pulses between cylinder banks for smoother top-end power. Competition only — no cats; off-road / track use only. 3-piece design eases installation in the C5's tight chassis routing.
Fits 1997-2004 Chevrolet Corvette C5. Requires Kooks long tube headers. Connects to 2-1/2" OEM-style exhaust at the factory connection point.
Kooks Headers & Exhaust has been hand-building stainless headers and exhaust systems in Statesville, North Carolina since 1962. Every mid-section is welded by experienced fabricators in the same shop where the company's racing roots were established. Stainless construction handles thermal cycling and corrosion.
Includes 3" x 2-1/2" mid-pipes. Pair with Kooks C5 long tubes upstream and the OEM cat-back downstream.
