That's not terribly unreasonable, but you you guys are right .. it's a big investment.
It does look and sound awesome though.

no, that was for the exhaust from the headers back.. it did NOT include the headers.
So tack another 800 on to that at least... 3400 dollars for a full exhaust.

I could own one of EACH of the cars you mention but I actually LOVE my car . . . my Wife feels the same about Hers
Mr. Kooks:
I'm running your 1 7/8" race Headers, your 3" Y-pipe, and a Corsa exhaust; the $2xxx Header-back system in this thread wouldn't be terribly quieter than my current set-up would it? I like it to sound as if the world stops when I shut off the car
I wouldn't need cats ofcourse . . . please PM me
I'd rather not drive from Miami, Fl
Would there be a problem of clearance on my Firehawk? It has the stock height . . . which is about 1/2" lower than stock WS6 height.
IF there would be no fitment issues and you could ship a set, I'd be interested in purchasing
I do need to speak to you about another issue though . . . at your convenience

What size piping over the axle?
I was told by Kooks that their set-up has 0 tolerance for anything other than stock Trans Am ride height; even on my stock Firehawk suspension height

If I had the money right now I'd buy the bassani true dual exhuast and cut the piping before the big muffler and fab up the tail pipes to have 2 mufflers. the cutting of the piping would be after the phb bends and that would save us from buying a phb relocation kit since the piping is already bent around the phb

Camaro fit?

Wow, the flow should be much better on those Kooks muffers with the longitudal slits instead of the usual perforated holes! Ingenious!
Impressive! Be talking to you George...

the exhuast in 3in stainless steel. complelty mandrel bent, and 3 in the entire length.
i will have some more pics up shortly, of a slightly different set-up, where the mufflers are placed in a slightly different spot.
i will start a new thread showcasing the exaust to get a feeler on pricing and demand. it will inlcude high quality pics.
please pm me, with any further questions.

Here are a few pics of another SW dual system. We added mufflers later on, the guy wanted to run without them for week. The system has evolved slightly & will be a production piece soon. Installing this system does require moving the fuel pump harness (1/2/hr of work, notice the block off plate) and repositioning the brake line. I have more pics & a sound clip on the shop computer.
