Based on the platform-designed Blackheart line—engineered to provide maximum exhaust velocity, ground clearance, style, performance, and quality—is Hooker’s new Axle-Back Dual Transverse Dual Mode Exhaust System with Quad Tips for manual 2016 Chevy Camaro SS with 6.2L V8. It offers max dyno gains of +15.88 hp and 17.71 ft.-lb. torque by eliminating the restrictive factory mid-pipe where the exhaust tube is crushed.

70401319-RHKR uses dual polished 304 stainless steel, high-flow, straight-through transverse mufflers and exhaust valves that provide a pleasant driving experience at cruising speeds when closed and an aggressive, race-inspired tone when open. The system uses factory mounting points for ease of installation, while 4” dual-wall, angle-cut, polished stainless steel quad tips with laser-etched Hooker Blackheart logo offer unmatched styling.

Royal Purple: Purple Ice Cooling System Optimizer

Purple Ice, the reformulated cooling system optimizer and conditioner from Royal Purple, is the most advanced product of its kind, reducing engine coolant temperatures by as much as 25°F and providing unmatched protection against harmful buildup and corrosion in the cooling systems of cars, trucks, motorcycles, and powersports equipment.

Royal Purple: Purple Ice Cooling System Optimizer
Royal Purple: Purple Ice Cooling System Optimizer

Racing, towing, and day-to-day driving can strain today’s cooling systems—a vital yet often neglected system that is prone to overheating. As a wetting agent, Purple Ice helps lower engine coolant temperatures by reducing the surface tension of the coolant. This allows a better interface between the engine’s coolant and hot metal components, which enables the coolant to better pull heat away from the engine, helping prevent overheating as well as the formation of damaging engine hot spots.

Purple Ice is especially beneficial for performance racing applications where the use of conventional glycol-based coolants is not permitted. When added to water, its glycol-free formulation provides racers with advanced corrosion protection, enhanced heat transfer capabilities, and compliance with racetrack rules.

Unlike other similar products, Purple Ice is 100 percent water soluble and leaves behind no film or buildup. Royal Purple has designed Purple Ice to be compatible with all OEM and stock replacement coolants, including extended-life antifreezes, and can also be used with straight water for maximum cooling benefit. Plus, it won’t harm sensitive rubber seals and hoses.

Available in 12-ounce bottles (01600) and 12-bottle cases (12600).

  • Reduces engine coolant temperatures by as much as 25 degrees Fahrenheit.
  • Protects against harmful buildup and corrosion.
  • Ideal replacement for glycol-based coolants.
  • Won’t harm rubber seals and hoses.
  • Water-soluble formula leaves behind no film or buildup.
  • Compatible with all OEM and stock replacement coolants.
  • Available in 12-oz bottles and 12-bottle cases.
