Kooks 1 7/8 w/B&B Please save the flames like "search" and whatnot. I've searched for a while and haven't seen exactly what I'm looking for.
I have a set of 1 7/8 Kooks on order with the high flow cat connecting pipes for the standard exhaust hookup. I also have the B&B 3" w/X-pipe exhaust currently on the car. I'd like to see what needs to be done to get these two pieces to work together. I can't tell from the pictures if I will need to purchase some 2 1/2 to 3 inch transitions to make it work. If so, I'll probably try to weld them onto the Kooks piece and then do a V-band setup to the exhaust. Anyways, I'd love to see some pictures of making this work if anyone has some, or some specific advice. Thanks!

Heads/cam it put down about 400whp. It idles and drives like stock, but with a nice broad torque band. I couldn't really have asked for a more Cadillac like setup.
Headers will be in this week, so we will see how the process goes. Hopefully it all lines up relatively easily.

Headers/Cats showed. Jet hot coating looks great. Marylandspeed rocks on pricing and customer support. Hopefully I'll have a chance to try to get everything hooked up this weekend.

This was considerably more work than expected. The Kooks collectors come out inside of where the factory manifolds/cats come out. The angles on the Kooks connecting pipes are probably a little too sharp, but they can be welded in with a set of 2.5 to 3 inch piping connectors. If I was going to do it all over again, I'd probably skip the connecting pipes and custom pipe everything after the headers. Also, the angle of the connecting pipes pushes the B&B too close to the center driveshaft heat shield, and this is something that I still need to get adjusted properly. As it sits, if I'm on the gas hard, the engine torques enough to bang the shield.
