I think it looks decent.

Seriously, for everyone bitching on here, I bet his TD setup outflows anyone Y pipe and 3" Catback setup. We run 2, 3" inch pipes, into a 2.75" merge and then through a single 3" pipe. Give me dual 2.5 all day.

We need sound clips! How much did this run you>

I mean $1200 for 304 stainless mandrel bent true duals is hard to beat, sometimes you just have to save your money alittle bit longer and do it right..... so how much did they charge you for that job OMC8?
Who is selling the Kooks system for 1200 ,the best I have seen is $1436 which is quiet a bit less than when first came out ,I think a year ago.

My bad guys it was actually $1350 shipped from the sponsor I PMed you guys. They don't like to advertise that price on here for some reason, just give them a call, I also go my Kooks 1 7/8 headers from them for $750 shipped.

Hey omc8, I'd love to hear a sound clip too if you have one! Does the C6 style X-pipe have a different sound to it than the traditional X?

Those are good prices on both of those, I paid about $850 for my ARH 1 7/8 headers a year ago and that was the best price I could find, and will not say who I bought them from.

Yep thats right that what matters, it works for me. Is the bling bling of ss going to make more HP or torque ,no .Will it last longer than my alumnized 14 gauge pipe ,maybe ,but I will get tired of system and probably make a change long before it wears out or rusts.So who going to put money in my bank , just to say Ive got stainless.Not worth it.

I have rusty C clamps on my exhaust to hold the over-axle piece. I might as well trade the car in, because it sucks with that rusty clamp.

Get over it guys.
