Post 241 and up from pics and info from the only guy here who has it. (so far) I'll be getting it this year hopefully. I need to redo my ENTIRE exhaust anyway and I think this is the only setup I would do right now.

^ It's just as much as you would spend on any GOOD exhaust anyway. Kooks LT's are ~$700 anyway, a GOOD Y is $300, and a GOOD CB is $700... (GMMG, Corsa etc etc.) So it's right in the range, maybe $200 more, of any leading high end exhaust. Just thank god we've got F-Bodies and not a C6. The exhausts for those are ungodly expensive! You'll spend $3000 on a nice exhaust easy on that car!

Plus, Stainless steel, full 3", flattened pipes under the seats, and high quality all around. It's worth the money. Just gotta do some reading and ask the right people and you can get a deal on it.

To me $1500 for the headers back is a damn good deal... Consider what Harley guys pay and we're doin' pretty good! If I end up picking a Camaro up this month, any extra money till I'm there is getting save for this setup.

I would've thought a few more people would have this system....Just a couple more sound clips would do the trick.....idle revs, 0-25-55 passes..ect....I'm really considering this system...for 1500$ ..This is a decision I'd just HAVE to make sure of before jumping right into to this one...

The headers and the system will be around $1900. Depending on who you talk to. I just think a lot of us have never looked at it from the standpoint of buying the WHOLE exhaust at once, that's why the price looks high. Just needs an upper PHB bracket.

I've never really considered true duels until I came across Kooks...only thing I really don't like are the 4" quad tips....same as magnaflow quads...personally I think 4" is just too gaudy looking, they look great on a truck. 3" tips fit/look so much better imao....I def. need more sound/360 views on this setup.
