Innovative Design

We take our years of experience, and inject that knowledge into creating performance systems that maximize horsepower, torque and sound. Each system is designed for the specific vehicle with distinct features to get the most performance possible along with great fitment.

Solid Construction

Made to withstand grueling engine conditions, Stainless Works exhaust and headers are fabricated from 304 stainless steel, which not only resist corrosion, but is more durable than its aluminized steel or 409 stainless steel counterparts.

Features:
‣ 304 stainless steel construction
‣ TIG welded for strength
‣ Mandrel bent (no buckling) for optimal flow
‣ Designed and Made in Chagrin Falls, Ohio, USA

CTS-V Exhaust Features:

‣ Aggressive exhaust growl
‣ Dual turbo S-tube mufflers
‣ 3” diameter system
‣ Quad Mirror-polished tips
‣ 3" Dual-Mode Performance Valves

CTS-V Header Features:

‣ 2“ diameter primary tubes
‣ 3” diameter lead pipes
‣ X-Pipe Crossover
‣ Features merge spike which optimizes flow and scavenging
‣ Port-matched durable 3/8” thick flanges

Choose Your Connection

Stainless Works CTS-V exhaust systems come in two configurations: Factory Connect and Performance Connect.

Factory Connect allows our headers or exhaust to easily bolt to the factory exhaust or manifolds respectively. They connect to the factory location which is necked-down to accommodate fitment.

Performance Connect is designed to take advantage of performance gains not possible with the standard factory connection point. Both SW headers and SW exhaust are used in this configuration. In the case of the 2016 CTS-V, we’ve developed a system which uses an X-pipe to create a true-dual system which doesn’t neck-down or crimp like the factory exhaust.

From Mild To Wild At Your Fingertips

Dual-Mode Performance

The 2016-17 Cadillac CTS-V comes standard with Dual-Mode Performance, which uses 4 tips under the bumper as well as a valve which operates in conjunction with Tour and Track driving modes. We have developed our own 3” hi-flow valve technology to retain the functionality of this valve which acts much like a cut-out, and closes off part of our muffler allowing you to go from mild to wild with a push of a button.

Increased Power

Factory manifolds can be restrictive and hold back the true potential of your ride. Stainless Works' systems unlock the power of your engine. Our long tube, free-flowing design reduces back pressure, and will bring new found power that you can feel and hear.

Limited Lifetime Warranty

Stainless Works headers and exhausts are designed to take the punishment of your motor, and are backed by a Limited Lifetime Guarantee on material and workmanship.

Install-Ready

We want to make sure installation goes as smoothly as possible, that's why Stainless Works systems come Install-Ready.

Whether clamps, O2 extensions, bolts or RTV silicone, our headers and exhausts come with all necessary accessories to make installation as smooth as possible.
