ARSENAL670

Came across this while looking for videos of which exhaust brand to go with. I've narrowed it down to the Borla adjustable exhaust and Hooker (so far)....then, I see this on Hooker's site, and even though it's not 3", it gets a man thinking....

Is anyone running this setup?

The Kooks 3" true dual system sounds nice:

The Kooks 3" dual is arguably the highest quality exhaust system; which makes installation easy if you do it yourself. Expensive though. I plan on redoing the exhaust system on my car next year. Kooks is the top of the list but I'll have to wait and see what my budget will allow.
Corsa Makes some top quality exhaust systems too if you haven't looked into them, check them out.
I've always been a fan of Magnaflow, I've installed them on several cars over the years. Top quality stuff made in America.


There are a ton of sound clips on the forum.

Long thread on the hooker blackheart system here.

Should answer most of your questions.

I'm hoping to get this system for my car. Apparently a bit quieter than the 3" systems available at a minimal cost in performance potential. Ground clearance is likely the best.

Thanks for the link Long thread, but looks like it has alot of good info.

I have the Kooks true dual and the Kooks headers and I love the sound and power that I achieved with it!

We have positive feedback from our customers for the 4th gen Hooker Blackheart dual exhaust system. You can see the reviews for 1st hand customer experience with these.

We also have the Kooks system a few others have mentioned. These come with a premium price. That's partially due to the premium 304 stainless steel they use. This system includes catalytic converters. If you wanted a catless system that would be KOK-22415100. Our site indicates this is a cat-back kit. It is indeed a dual header-back kit and we'll get that fixed.

I was on the fence between the Kook 3 inch TD and BlackHeart 2.5 TD. Went BlackHeart for better ground clearance. Read some where on LS1tech on a 600 whp engine the difference was 6 whp in favor of the Kook's.

Under 600whp i think the BlackHeart is a good choice.

You weren't kidding about the price! $2,100!!!


How is the raspiness in the higher end RPM range? I am trying to avoid any "tinny" or "metally" sounds the more I get on the gas pedal. Case in point, I daily drive a 2014 Jeep Grand Cherokee with a 5.7, and was looking into Hooker Blackheart as a possible cat-back exhaust, because it is the ONLY brand that doesn't sound like absolute **** when you get on it:
