Product Description

The Kooks 7106S-MALE is the male half of Kooks' proven 3 in. ball and socket exhaust connection system. It welds directly onto 3 in. OD exhaust tubing and provides a precision-formed ball end that mates with the Kooks 7106S-FEMALE socket to create a leak-free, gasketless connection with built-in articulation. Constructed from 16-gauge T304 stainless steel with a 3/8 in. two-bolt flange, this component handles the thermal stress of high-performance exhaust systems on both street and race builds.

Whether you're replacing a damaged or lost male half from an existing Kooks kit or building a custom exhaust from scratch, the 7106S-MALE delivers the same factory-spec fitment found in Kooks' full header and mid-pipe kits. It's the go-to choice for fabricators and builders who need a professional-grade, USA-made connection point for any 3 in. exhaust application.
