^ I've gone thru a Borla CB, Borla LT's and catted Y, Borla LT's + ORY, then a TSP Rumbler with LT's and ORY.. I'm DONE with overly loud exhausts..




Although I DO love the occasional waking the dead.. Catted setup on this should be golden..

^ Just wondering how the drone is at HW at 65. .. Maybe 1900rpm.. We've got cams, so they have a tendency to drone pretty bad on the HW.. but I've got stock gearing for now too. I can't be in my car for any longer than an hour.. If it's been more than that driving, I get out and my ears are ringing from the damn drone and I have to crank the stereo up to fight the exhaust so I can actually HEAR my music.

^ Got a pic from the top looking down? How much do those tips stick out past the bumper? I wonder if Kooks will be doing any revision work on these? Maybe the TA tips would be out a little more than the Camaro ones. (I know, I'm picky.)

wow...that is a beautiful exhaust system....i want one!!! but i would rather keep my QTP's and spend 2k on some heads, cam, and rockers. if i would have saw this before i bought my exhaust it would be a no brainer....but i don't think it will make much more power then my current setup...it sounds ridiculously AWESOME though!

^ Exactly.. I don't think you can out-grow this exhaust. It will work with any N/A engine combo. Not to mention nitrous.

Kooks is my savior!!!!

i wonder if in person it sounds that different.

^You can never gauge an exhaust from a video. Of course it sounds different in person.

i know it'll sound different in person, hence the reason i said "i wonder if in person it sounds that different."
