Upgrade your GM V8 with headers and connections matched together

Give your supported 2009-2013 GM truck or SUV a Kooks front exhaust conversion with 1-7/8" long tube headers and a Performance-catted Y-pipe. The 304 stainless package joins the 2-3/4" OEM rear interface for the listed 4.8- and 5.3-litre applications.

SKU: 2855H420

Keep the rear system that suits your truck

The headers have 3" collectors feeding the supplied 3" Y-pipe. Its 2-3/4" rear outlet makes the connection to an exhaust using the factory interface, so the front upgrade can work with a retained cat-back.

Choose the primary around your engine

This is the 1-7/8" package. The separate 2855H220 kit uses 1-3/4" headers. Choose around your engine modifications rather than assuming the larger primary is always the better choice. Performance cats are for naturally aspirated engines.

Fitting your exhaust

Some installations with 90-degree spark-plug boots need the wires modified as shown in the fitting guide, or replaced with suitable aftermarket wires.

Tuning for your exhaust upgrade

We recommend tuning with every header installation so the calibration suits your new headers, complete exhaust and fuel. Contact us to discuss the right tuning route for your vehicle.
