Stainless Works Exhaust Header Pipe Kit

Stainless Works Exhaust Header Pipe Kits: American-Made Performance

When muscle car and performance truck owners demand the absolute best in header pipe kits, Stainless Works consistently rises to the top. As an industry leader in stainless steel performance exhaust, Stainless Works brings the same uncompromising craftsmanship found across their full lineup directly into their Exhaust Header Pipe Kits — delivering dyno-proven power, a signature exhaust note, and corrosion resistance that outlasts the competition.

Built to a Higher Standard

Every Stainless Works Exhaust Header Pipe Kit starts with 304 stainless steel — the same high-grade alloy used throughout their entire product range. Unlike cheaper 400-series stainless steel used by competitors, Stainless Works products will never red-rust , making them a true lifetime investment under your vehicle.

The fabrication process behind each kit sets Stainless Works apart from the crowd. All tubes are CNC mandrel bent for optimal flow , and starting with CNC-cut 3/8" thick flanges, the primaries feed into slip-fit collectors and catted leads — with headers fully TIG welded and back purged for maximum strength and weld integrity. In-house manufacturing technology includes CNC Trumpf Lasers, a CNC Press Brake, a CNC Robotic Cell, and purpose-built fixtures that ensure repeatability across every TIG-welded product.

Fit-Specific Kits for Iconic Platforms

Stainless Works designs their Exhaust Header Pipe Kits around specific vehicles rather than generic applications. The 2016–19 Cadillac CTS-V Sedan header kit features port-matched flanges and mandrel-bent 2" primaries with 3" catted leads and an X-pipe, and includes adapters for both factory and performance connections. The 2016–20 Camaro SS kit offers port-matched flanges and mandrel-bent primaries with 3" catted leads, an X-pipe, and tailpipes — including a valve delete plate to eliminate any AFM engine codes. For classic builds, the 1968–72 Chevelle/El Camino/Monte Carlo Big Block headers use 2" primaries with a 3-1/2" slip-fit collector in a long-tube design for low-end torque, and include header bolts and high-temp RTV.

The "Performance Connect" system is a hallmark of these kits — catted leads with a 3" X-pipe are designed to connect seamlessly to Stainless Works Performance Connect headers for a full 3", no neck-down, free-flowing system. This end-to-end integration means minimal compromise between components for maximum exhaust scavenging.

These kits come with a lifetime warranty and are proudly made in the USA. Stainless Works is an industry leader in stainless steel performance headers and exhaust systems, with products manufactured with exacting specifications by skilled American craftsmen. Whether you are building a street-driven muscle car, a weekend track warrior, or restoring a classic, a Stainless Works Exhaust Header Pipe Kit delivers the quality and performance that serious enthusiasts demand.
