Do you have any more videos of the exhaust on your car? I'm now like a week away from ordering it :-)

Im sure its got to be tweaked because everyone else said it tucked up nicely. Off the headers looked fine, the cats tucked just as good if not better than the old catted-y I had. Its really low right before it goes over the axle though. I was so pumped to have finished the install and set it on the ground that I didnt even think to look at clearance. Once I fired it up and peaked under there I was a little shocked.

No, I haven't taken any more until I get the cam/cam sensor issue worked out. Hopefully this spring I will have a new one to upload and some actual while driving the car

The price is now up over $2000 on the KOOKS website . . . So, throw in the $1000 +/- Headers and you have a $3000 exhaust system . . . That is NOT happening any time SOON for me, probably NEVER !

Are you seriously looking to buy, because I would be contacting the guys at Maryland Speed?

Just get a GMMG/Mad Hammer cat back. There's no doubt that it won't flow as much, but for the money, it's one of the best sounding cat backs for the 4th gen AND the tips will line up. Nothing like seeing guys spending thousands on an exhaust system that they can't even align the tips!

As a guy that's had 3 systems in a short 16,000mi life, I wish something like this existed when I started looking. Last exhaust anyone would need. Like Mac said...tips line up fine. Tips are now independent of the muffler and can be positioned perfectly.

Ya it really took no effort at all. This is coming from a guy who just installed his first exhaust other than headers. Once the tips went into the hangers I looked behind and they were straight and even on both sides.

The quad tips were meant for the trans am so that's no surprise there on how easy it is. I have heard over and over the quad tips are harder to line up right on camaro like I have. I like the quad tips better myself so I really just don't know

If anyone is interested, I am selling my brand new Kooks true duals along with new Kooks 1 7/8th Longtubes for $2500. They are still in box untouched. PM me if you would like pictures. I also get a discount on shipping. I am located in Fort Worth, TX.

Sorry for the thread hijack.

x2... But Maryland speed contacted me after a conversation through PM. Brandon took care of me and had parts to my house in 2 days.

I picked up the duals and a catback for my Suburban for less then what the duals are listed for.

Call them, they're easy to work with and in my opinion the quality of product you get is worth the $. Awesome system and the sound is unique to any cat back I've ever heard, I could listen to the exhaust all day long.
