22-25 CTS-5V Blackwing 2in Headers

The 22-25 CTS-5V Blackwing 2in Headers from Stainless Works are engineered for serious Cadillac CTS-V Blackwing owners seeking measurable gains in exhaust flow and engine responsiveness. These direct-fit long-tube headers replace restrictive factory manifolds, unlocking horsepower and torque while delivering the aggressive exhaust note that defines modern American performance. Built for the fifth-generation CTS-V platform, these headers are a cornerstone modification for any enthusiast committed to maximizing their machine's potential on street or strip.

Stainless Works constructed these headers from premium stainless steel tubing, resisting corrosion and thermal cycling that destroys mild steel alternatives over time. The 2-inch primary tube diameter is precisely matched to the 6.2L LT5 supercharged V8's displacement and RPM band, optimizing scavenging efficiency and minimizing backpressure without sacrificing mid-range torque. Mandrel-bent construction ensures consistent wall thickness throughout each runner, eliminating turbulent flow restrictions that factory manifolds introduce. The headers feature a high-flow catalytic converter-compatible design, maintaining emissions compliance while preserving the raw performance gains that justify the investment.

CTS-V Blackwing owners upgrading their fuel management and ignition tuning will see the most dramatic results from this header swap, as the improved exhaust scavenging directly amplifies the effects of ECU optimization. Installation requires no frame modification or exotic fabrication—these bolt directly into factory mounting points on 2022–2025 models. Pairing these headers with a quality cat-back exhaust system completes the power package, delivering noticeable throttle response improvement and that unmistakable supercharged burble that separates serious performance builds from bone-stock machines.
