P.S. When installing the Kooks, my passenger side took 5 minutes and the drivers side took 10 to mount. They kick serious ***. REMEMBER, take out the oil drain plug. That was the only think keeping the driver side header from slipping up there like the passenger side. Enjoy!

I'll tell you what I think of GMMG and QTP Lt with cats in a couple of hours. They are being installed with an LS6 intake and Kenny Brown SFC today. You can see the rest of the mods in my daily driver. I'll also have dyno numbers later tonight.

I just put a set of Jet Hots, with an ORY from Hooker, and a GMMG catback, and it sounds awesome!!! It's loud, no doubt, but it sounds kick azz!! As soon as I can, I'm going to get a GMMG for mine, to go with the LT's and ORY.

so are we all in agreement that kooks LTs on a gmmg exhaust with a lid only with be fine for a daily driver? also I know that the cats quiet it down in comparison to running an off road y setup...but how much louder are we talking about from stock manifolds and the gmmg....I'm itching to do it...but I don't want to regret it b/c its too loud for every day use

I have the GMMG with FLP headers and a ory. I love the sound of my set up. There is a little rasp at around 2000 to 2200 rpm but that is it. Again I love the way it sounds.

I'm running pacesetters,ORY and a GMMG and I can't wait to get some cats on there! I think it sounds like **** without cats (might have something to do with the hotcam) I think it sounds like an old pickup with cherrybombs, just meaner. Very very raspy. I was going to get a TSP catted y, but they let me down with there crappy merge

I gotta question for 02BlackBullett about taking out the oil drain plug for the driver side install. Not sure if u had the same problem or not when u had to change oil later on but did the headers get in the way of takin out the drain plug. If anyone has any ideas for me the next time i change oil, pm me or just post it.
