Eastern Members - Anyone in CT Have Kooks TD's? (F-Car)

I've been wanting the Kooks TD system since it came out, but I want it with cats and I really don't wan the exhaust to be battling the stereo. I've got a cam too, so that adds a degree of difficulty.

Just wondering if anyone around here has this setup and maybe I can drop by and take a listen to it.

I plan on ordering it, I know that doesnt help you though.

^ Yeah. I plan on ordering it too, but probably not till spring/summer next year, but I may just end up getting a C6Z by then anyway. Really just about getting bored with this car and not sure if I can justify spending another $10k for mods. Needs gears badly, but not sure if that's gonna fix my boredom.

Decisions, Decisions.

Im in RI n i have it but its got no cats and on a 403ci...

^ Drone? Street car?


Uuuugh.. Maybe this is why I change exhausts every other year. Keeps me interested in the car.

Daily driven friends say it really loud wot by them no drone just sounds good everyone say the car sounds awesome or just raw power sound ..

With cats ypull prob love it

I had them on my 99SS that I sold . It was a custom system that they made in the shop when they were in LI NY. They did take measurements of the entire system "for future use" before final installation. I will say it was awesome, no rattles or drones, But I did have them add 2 resonators to make sure I would not violate the sound restrictions where I race. The new packaged system looks exactly like my system minus the resonators and I had to have the mufflers rotated 90 deg to clear the trailer hitch that I used to get my race tires to events. The negative was that hand made system ended up costing 2800.00 , way more than I was expecting.

^ Hope so. Maybe with tax season. I REALLY need a new exhaust and god knows how much the SLP LT's are choking back. Was gonna start w the LT's first. Money is kinda tight right now.

I think you should spend all your money on parts for the V-Dub :P

for the cost it is not worth it to me, its still loud and just plain to much money

Yea if i had to buy the system i wouldve left my magnafliw n cutout but insurance paid to the whole kit lol ....only issuebi hav with it isnif i hot a bump the relocation bar hits it or the pipes are hitting the floor where it goes over the axle since im lowered .....havent crawled under there yet to see whats up

^ Yeha, I'm lowered too. I just want an exhaust that sounds good that's reasonably quiet and won't be battling my stereo. I kinda regret getting rid of my Borla Adjustable. Just needed a cutout, some good LT's, Merge Y and a cutout for the CB. Oh well.

I think you should spend all your money on parts for the V-Dub :P

Oh trust me, I thought of it... Trade for a MKVI DSG GTI (2010+) and dump some money into it. Stg2 or even 3 are roll monsters.

If u want quiet n sounds good at wot get a magnaflow catback but make your oun y pipe i made one with the flowmaster merge dual 3" to 4" outlet withbthe cut out after it ...it took all the drone away and sounded very good everyone loved it prob the cheapest n best way to go

N best lt's are arh my 1⅞ slip right in with the car on jack stands

^^ know this car well and it does sound good, still sounds like a ls1 camaro but much better then any Y pipe setup. For the money its a bit much though.

^ I'd love to get rid of my SLP LT's... I've had them for long enough and, like I said, god knows how much power they're choking back.

I guess I'll have to build a Y. ARH LT's have been at the top of my list for a while.

Here's a clip of my car with the kooks tds, might be a race version but sounds good..http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jc1pXS7RRkg&feature=youtube_gdata_player

Your other videos have it too? Sounds pretty loud on that part throttle video.

I take it it's got an LQ9...... Huge cam, I gather.

That was open headers.. Yea lq9 stock heads.. And a cam

I have it on my car. Not horribly loud.

Just get a good set of headers and just build a dual system under the car... if you don't have a diamond style frame connector you can easily build a 3 inch dual system with a pair of flowmaster 44 series mufflers, dump them out the sides in front of the rear wheels, and it will sound really good. Demonic bird bought my old headers and exhaust off me when I sold off all the LS stuff.. listen to that, if you like it I can tell you what's needed to duplicate it... if you're interested and are willing to help I'd do it for pizza and beer :) I had my car lowered about an inch in the front from stock and about stock ride height in the back (lowered a little, enough to make up for the 28 inch tire) and it had enough clearance so I never had any issues with it bottoming out. The 44 series muflers are only 4 inches thick, which helps that alot.

You paint the whole thing when it's done with high temp flat black grill paint, and you can't even see it under the car too.. somewhat stealthy. And there's a "cat" you can buy as well to put over the pipe, if you need to get it thru emmissions. They'll pass you for the visual anyway :)
