An OEM connection point is a specific location on the factory exhaust where this cat-back exhaust or connection pipe will bolt up/connect.

While Kooks offer a wide variety product options, unfortunately we cannot stock all makes/models for a variety of reasons including but not limited to low demand, preexisting  known fitment issues or the make/model is discontinued. Kooks does offer custom builds if the schedule allows.

Yes, they do.  0² extensions will be included if they are required for the vehicle.  Instructions are available under the Resources tab on our website product listing.

These two cats are physically the same, and both use the same 300 cell high-flow substrate. The difference is in the coating that is applied to the substrate. The coating on the Kooks GREEN Cat has more of the precious metals required to create the proper reaction to function as a catalytic converter in newer vehicle exhaust systems. This coating also helps the cat withstand the increased heat in higher horsepower and forced induction applications. The standard cats carry a 1 year limited replacement warranty (No warranty if used in a forced induction application). The Kooks GREEN Cats carry a 2 year limited replacement warranty.

Kooks Torque Series & Kooks Super Street

The Kooks Torque Series headers and Kooks Super Street Series headers are designed with for improved performance while maintaining an outlet that will connect to the OEM Catalytic Converter. This allows for maximum performance without interfering with the Emissions Control systems of the vehicle and without requiring a tune. 

Kooks Long Tube

Long Tube headers are designed for maximum performance and will require a Kooks Connection pipe or Kooks Header-Back exhaust system to be used. With Long Tube headers, the OEM Catalytic converters will need to be removed. A tune is required to receive the maximum benefit of the Long Tube Header upgrade.

Typically in the range of 15 to 20 hp with a tune unless otherwise stated.

The part ending in 430 only fits 2015-2017 and the part ending in 431 is a redesign and will work on 2015-2020.

Usually, there is an internal part within part #11323300.  We do not list these parts on our website but we can sell it if it’s available.

More than likely, no. Cats are a lot harder to hurt than most people think. 99% of the time when a P0420 or P0430 are present, especially when it is both at the same time, it is resolved in the tune or by finding an exhaust leak. These codes are a symptom, not the disease, just like a runny nose.

We go off the OEM spec and sequence. Treat it like you were torquing down an OEM manifold.

Basic hand tools are all that is needed. My personal recommendation would be a nice set of swivel head ratchet wrenches and a 3/8” drive u-joint.

Would you build a nasty ¼ mile drag car but leave it open diff with 2.73 gears in it? You are doing yourself a great disservice by not tuning the vehicle. You’re missing out on extra power, fuel economy, and possibly locking out drive modes depending on the year and make. Get it tuned and establish a relationship with your tuner. They will be your best friend when you start making some real power.

• This is not a one-size fits all answer – it comes down to how much power the vehicle is making (or will be making once all mods are complete), if the vehicle is naturally aspirated or has some kind of power adder(s), how the vehicle is being driven, and average RPM range, amongst others.
• Generally speaking, bigger is NOT ALWAYS better. You want to use the smallest primary tube that your engine/power output will allow to maximize both torque and top end horsepower.
• If you have additional questions, contact Kooks at 704-768-2288 or email sales@kooksheaders.com

• Power results will vary based on several factors, including but not limited to other modifications on the vehicle, air temperature or humidity, altitude, engine quality, and of course, the all-important tune.
• Generally speaking, customers will see between 10-25 more horsepower and 15-30 more ft. lbs. of torque with our Super Street or Torque Series headers, which offer a no-tune solution for making more power. With our long-tube systems and a proper tune, customers will generally see about 25-50 more horsepower and 30+ ft. lbs. of torque.
