The Chevy Camaro is one of the most iconic American performance cars, known for its aggressive styling, powerful V8 engine options, and strong racing heritage across multiple generations. Upgrading to performance headers and pairing them with a cat-back or axle-back exhaust system improves horsepower, torque, throttle response, and delivers the deep, aggressive exhaust tone Camaro enthusiasts expect.
Stainless Works designs premium performance headers and exhaust systems specifically for the Chevy Camaro platform, engineered to maximize exhaust flow while maintaining durability and reliability for street driving, drag racing, track use, and high-performance builds.
Explore our full Chevy Camaro lineup engineered for performance, sound, and bolt-on fitment across multiple generations and engine configurations.
For first-generation models, the 1967–1969 Camaro performance systems include small block and big block cat-back exhaust systems, LS swap exhaust solutions, stock manifold applications, and multiple long tube header configurations for SBC, BBC, stock steering, rack and pinion, and LS Wayne Due subframe setups.
Second-generation platforms are supported with the 1970–1981 Camaro performance systems, featuring LS swap cat-back systems, small block exhaust systems for stock manifolds, LS long tube headers, and small block long tube header kits engineered to improve airflow, horsepower, and overall engine performance.
For third-generation applications, the 1982–1992 Camaro cat-back exhaust systems are designed to improve exhaust flow and deliver a deeper, more aggressive tone. Matching 1982–1992 Camaro long tube header kits further improve exhaust scavenging, throttle response, and overall performance.
Fourth-generation F-body models are covered with the 1993–2002 Camaro performance lineup, including long tube headers for LT and LS engine applications, performance midpipes, and cat-back exhaust systems engineered to maximize airflow and improve engine efficiency.
Modern fifth-generation upgrades include the 2010–2015 Camaro long tube header kits, the 2012–2015 Camaro ZL1 cat-back exhaust system, the 2010–2015 Camaro SS cat-back exhaust system, and the 2010–2015 Camaro convertible brace kit, designed to improve chassis rigidity and overall driving performance.
Sixth-generation upgrades include the 2016–2021 Camaro 6.2L convertible headers, the 2016–2024 Camaro SS long tube headers, the 2016–2024 Camaro SS cat-back exhaust system, and the 2016–2024 Camaro SS axle-back exhaust system, all engineered to improve airflow, increase horsepower, and enhance exhaust tone.
The 2016–2024 Camaro SS long tube header kit is part of the Stainless Power product line, designed and quality inspected in the USA to provide reliable fitment, strong performance, and excellent value for modern Camaro applications.
Across all generations, pairing long tube headers with a performance exhaust system improves airflow, reduces restriction, and helps unlock additional horsepower and torque while enhancing the signature Camaro sound.
Our exhaust systems and headers feature corrosion-resistant stainless steel construction and precision TIG welding for strength and long-term durability. Long tube headers utilize mandrel-bent primary tubes and optimized collectors designed to maximize exhaust flow and improve engine efficiency.
Stainless Works exhaust systems and headers are proudly Made in the USA and backed by a lifetime warranty on materials and craftsmanship. Stainless Power products are designed and quality inspected in the USA and backed by a 2-year warranty.
