Kooks full 3" x 3" stainless X-pipe — true 3" all the way through for full 3" race exhaust systems. 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. Does not connect to OEM-style cat-back — pair with a 3" race tail section.
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 legacy was built. Stainless construction handles thermal cycling and corrosion.
Includes 3" x 3" mid-pipes. Pair with Kooks C5 long tubes upstream and a 3" downstream system.
