Kooks 3-Inch Stainless Steel Cat-Back Exhaust System for 2005–2006 Pontiac GTO 6.0L LS2
The Kooks 3-inch cat-back exhaust system delivers the ultimate bolt-on performance upgrade for 2005–2006 Pontiac GTO models with the 6.0L LS2 V8, replacing the factory system from the catalytic converters back with mandrel-bent T304 stainless steel tubing and high-flow straight-through mufflers for dyno-proven gains of 20–30 rear-wheel horsepower and 25–35 lb-ft of torque while producing an aggressive V8 roar without interior drone.
Featuring polished 4-inch double-wall slash-cut tips and full TIG-welded construction, this system maintains factory ground clearance and uses OEM hangers for direct bolt-on installation with no cutting or welding required. The 3-inch diameter flows significantly better than stock 2.5-inch piping, supporting over 600 HP modifications while delivering classic muscle car sound that complements the GTO’s heritage.
For 2005–2006 GTO owners demanding deeper tone and real power gains with daily-driver refinement, the Kooks 24124200 cat-back is the complete solution for street, track, or show.
