Kooks 3" x 2-1/2" catted stainless X-pipe — bridges Kooks 3" collector C5 long tubes to the OEM 2-1/2" cat-back. Standard race cats inline keep the car street-legal in most jurisdictions. X-pipe geometry balances exhaust pulses for smoother top-end power.
Fits 1997-2004 Chevrolet Corvette C5 LS1 / LS6 5.7L. Requires Kooks long tube headers with 3" collectors. Standard race cats are NOT for use on forced-induction applications.
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. 3-piece design for improved fitment in the C5 chassis.
Includes 3" x 2-1/2" mid-pipes and clamps. Pair with Kooks C5 long tubes upstream and the OEM cat-back downstream.
