Default KooKs True Duals

Anyone have any feedback on this system yet. I feel they make a great product but was wondering if anyone has bought and installed yet?? Thanks.

kooks has a video on their site i believe. I doubt many people will purchase it since it is so expensive, so you may not find many reviews.

FYI, you'll also have to buy a PHB relocation kit and different trans tunnel brace on top of the $1895 price tag!

I have heard it. Sounds good but nothing great. Not worth the money imo.

Ya thats what gets me. On top of buying $900 headers to go along with it. I priced everything out needed and the best total I got was $2700 something. Alot for a full exhaust..

^^^Agreed. Thats alot for piping if you ask me. The Kooks LTs are the only things I would buy from Kooks. Outstanding products, but damn 1900 is steep.

I dont mind paying for the headers, because those have been dyno proven over PS, etc. etc(even though its not a big gain, its a gain nonetheless)..... but a cat back is a cat back to me. A shop can fab one up for WAY cheaper.

Lol.....sooooo no one read OPs post or are we starting another "I can't afford / justify / I can build a better dual / kooks is out of their minds / spend your money elsewhere thread"?

2002SS#1811 - FYI...good luck getting an answer on this one. Too many haters on this recent issue. You're going to aLOT of advice . But of course, if one of these folks win $250 for a Kooks' logo in their sig, well then....

FLAME SUIT ON!

Lol your right though. To the OP I know one or two people ordered the TD system in the other thread that was started on this. I dont think they will sell alot of these but eventually you will get some feedback on it. I personally would like to hear from Kooks with questions on ground clearance and such. They never chimed in the other thread for some reason. It sounds good in the clips but clearly you have to hear it in person and until I do or hear positive reviews from fellow tech addicts I would not drop the coin on in.
