Lethal Carries the Entire Kooks Lineup

So, you want to beef up your ride with some serious hardware? Let's break down Kooks' arsenal of upgrades, each engineered to turbocharge your vehicle's performance from "meh" to "monster."

Kooks Headers

The cornerstone of the Kooks' lineup is their standard stainless steel headers, engineered to expel exhaust gases more efficiently than standard headers. By reducing backpressure and increasing exhaust flow, they boost horsepower and torque. Ideal for those looking to enhance their engine's breathing capabilities, Kooks headers are a fundamental upgrade for any performance-focused vehicle.

Kooks Long Tube Headers

These are the heavy hitters in the exhaust game. Longer than standard headers, they allow for even greater exhaust gas flow, significantly amplifying performance. Kooks long tube headers are designed for the speed fanatic and are best known for increasing low-end torque and providing that satisfying deep growl that performance enthusiasts love.

Catted Connection Kits

You'll need a reliable connection to bridge the gap between your shiny new headers and the rest of your exhaust system. Kooks offers catted connection kits, which include catalytic converters to help reduce emissions without sacrificing performance. These kits are designed to seamlessly integrate with existing systems, ensuring a perfect fit and optimal exhaust flow.

Advanced Catalytic Technology

Kooks also leads the way in eco-friendly performance with their Green Catalytic Converters. Here's what sets them apart:

3" Kooks GREEN High Flow Catalytic Converter: These units are certified to EPA standards and designed to handle a robust 375 horsepower per catalytic converter, summing up to 750 horsepower per pair. Their 400 CPSI (cells per square inch) high-flow substrate is key for reducing back pressure while meeting strict emissions standards, thus helping you keep the air cleaner without sacrificing performance.

3" Kooks High Output GREEN High Flow Catalytic Converter: For those pushing their rides even harder, these converters can handle up to 500 horsepower per unit, totaling 1000 horsepower for a pair. They feature a 300 CPSI high-flow substrate for even less restriction and greater efficiency under extreme conditions. These are perfect for vehicles equipped with forced induction systems, as they are built to manage the increased exhaust volume and higher temperatures without breaking a sweat.
