i agree now since I went from 11.65 to 11.30 flat and i prolly could have gotten quicker if i let it cool down and made another pass, next task is to get it on the dyno to see what my increase in numbers are

Does this exhaust clear the the Fays2 Watts Link? How about clearing a Strano Adjustable rear sway-bar?

Please post some more pics of the over the axle area, between differential and exhaust, panhard bar and sway bar areas in relation to this exhaust -- I'm trying to see how well a Watts Link and Strano Adjustable Sway Bar would work with this setup...

THANKS!

^check the kooks video on YouTube they have some good close ups that you can probably have the best view of how it passes over the axle.

ponyeater01LS1

Ill get some more day light pics tomorrow up and over the axle from all diff angles and hope that helps out and ill also do it with a tape measure so you all can see what the exact measurements need to be up and over and clearance needs to be. Im sure as long as you have the 2 stock panhard bars removed and replaced with after market stuff it will work most likely.

Also, I got a copy of their documentation that comes with this system -- pretty sparse. FYI, the text is copy & pasted below:

Now we all know that Kooks puts out a superior product...

If you really think that Corsa is even close in comparison to Magnaflow then you need to do a little more research there monkey.....
( and I am not bashing Magnaflow, its good for the price )

Nice set-up ponyeater

Did you get that crooked left tip to straighten out? I'm having a hell of a time with mine. Been on stands for nearly 2 weeks now. I'd like to see someone install the over axle pipe without a lift. I couldn't do it.

ponyeater01LS1

yea my left one was crooked at first but i loosed all the clamps up again and start tweekin again and got everything straight and fittin right and I also did mine on jack stands and only had it about at most a foot off the ground as you can see in my vid a few posts back.

WS6RED2002TA

I have see a few people on here complaining about Corsa muffler falling apart.(the internals).... Get looking exhaust system O.P. Im thinking about changing my exhaust system now.

I want this, when I save up enough money the shitty Hooker catback is going bye bye

ponyeater01LS1

no in car vids but I had a SLP LM before and it was ungodly too loud this Kooks is well "perfect" put it this way I can now actually listen to my radio in the car now unlike before with the loudmouth system. The Kooks is a more deeper meaner sound BUT! when you stomp on it get the *** out the the way because it means buisness

ponyeater01LS1

oh and I also have my complete interior ripped out so as far as comparing loudness interior wise I cant really say now but before the interior was tore out yes it was awesome

I havn't seen anybody bring up lowered cars? Looks like plenty of clearance on ponyeaters car. Very interested in this setup but my car will be lowered with Strano springs. Ponyeater do you see me having an issue? Thanks
