Kooks 2022+ Chevrolet C8 Corvette Z06 LT6 Tri-Y Headers w/ GREEN Cats (Part# 2181HY30)

If you’re driving a C8 Z06, you’ve already got one of the best naturally aspirated engines ever put into a production car. But the factory exhaust manifolds have to play by a lot of strict emissions and noise rules, which means they are choking off a massive amount of power and that high-pitched F1-style scream the LT6 is capable of. The Kooks 1-7/8in. x 2in. Stainless Steel Tri-Y Headers are the fix. These aren’t just a simple exhaust swap; they’re designed to fix the airflow bottleneck so the LT6 can finally breathe the way it was designed to.At the shop, we’ve found that Kooks is the gold standard for a reason. They don’t just weld pipes together; they understand exhaust scavenging and pulse tuning. When you pair these headers with the GREEN catalytic converters, you’re getting a significant bump in power and a much more aggressive tone, all while keeping your setup clean and professional.

Features & Benefits

Tri-Y Design: This isn't a generic long-tube setup. The Tri-Y design is specifically engineered to improve torque across the rev range, which is exactly what a high-revving engine like the LT6 needs.
Flow Efficiency: With 1-7/8in. x 2in. stepped primaries, you’re looking at vastly improved exhaust scavenging, which translates to real, seat-of-the-pants horsepower gains.
GREEN Catalytic Converters: You get the performance of a high-flow setup without the smell or the "check engine light" headaches of a cat-delete. These are high-quality converters that actually perform.
T304 Stainless Steel: These are built to last. Kooks uses high-grade stainless that won't rust out or crack under the extreme heat the Z06 engine bay generates.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will this set off my Check Engine Light?

Kooks designs their GREEN series cats to be high-flow and high-efficiency. They are specifically made to work with the factory sensors to minimize the risk of a CEL, though on a car this sensitive, we always recommend a professional tune to make sure everything is optimized.

Is the installation difficult?

Look, the C8 Z06 is a tight, mid-engine platform. You are working in a cramped space where accessibility is limited. This isn't a "weekend driveway" job for a beginner. We strongly recommend having a shop with C8-specific experience handle the install to ensure everything is torqued right and sealed up perfectly.

Do I need a tune after installing these?

Technically, the car will run, but to see the actual power gains these headers are capable of producing, you definitely need a professional tune. You’re changing the airflow characteristics of the engine significantly, and a good tune is the only way to capitalize on that.

How does it change the sound?

It takes the LT6’s factory sound and turns the volume up, but more importantly, it sharpens the tone. It gives it that raw, mechanical, high-performance edge that sounds like a proper race car.
