Show original supplier description
The American Racing Headers CAV8-16178300LSWC is a high-performance long system exhaust specifically engineered for 2016 and newer Camaro V8 models equipped with LT1, LT4, SS, ZL1, or 1LE packages. This system, measuring 1-7/8" x 3", allows you to retain your factory mufflers while significantly upgrading exhaust flow. It features a 3" X-Pipe and requires only a single mark and cut on each side for mating to the factory mufflers, eliminating the need for welding. Constructed from 100% USA-sourced 304 stainless steel, this exhaust system is built for durability and performance. It includes 3/8" thick laser-cut flanges for a warp-free seal, hand-ported TIG welded inlets for optimal flow, and merge collectors with scavenger spikes. The catted version of this system utilizes 200-cell metallic substrate catalytic converters, chosen for their extreme durability. **Important Considerations:** This American Racing Headers exhaust system is designated **FOR CLOSED COURSE COMPETITION USE ONLY**.
