Question Kooks True Duals Kit

Been looking to change my exhaust up a little so I was looking around and found a hard to turn down deal on the Kooks True Dual kit. Only problem is I got QTP's on the car not Kooks so does anyone know if I can make the kit work without hacking it up or is that a negative? Also anyone using this kit please give me your opinions on overall satisfaction, quality, ground clearance, etc.


Thanks

Don't have one, but you'll need a phb relocation kit (about $200) with it.
IMO, if you've got enough for the Kook's dual exhaust, then bit the bullet and get a set of Kooks 1-7/8" headers also. Otherwise you'll probably need to modify the kit to work with you QTP headers.

I figured on that my main issue was finding out is there a way to make the kit work with non Kooks headers...

^ It'd prolly take some fab work, spare 3" stainless pieces and a tig welder.

I had TSP 1 7/8 headers, I sold them and got the Kooks 1 7/8 headers to go with the true duals, I wasn't about to start hacking up the kooks true duals to make them fit $500 headers.

Can you show me some pics of the exhaust on your car? How was fitment? Ground clearance? Quality? Any negatives?

I don't have any good pics of my exhaust, it's already in storage for the winter. I has extremely happy with the fitment, and ground clearance is awesome! The lowest point is right before it goes over the axle, which i thought was kind of odd. I did have to have trim alittle bit off my x-pipe, but that was because it was hitting my MWC 9". The quality can't be beat, it's a work of art.

I wonder if the cost of kooks true d's would out gain my ele-cutout for the money.... I think catbacks and other exhause are a wast of the money they want for a small gain if any. My cutout gaines 30hp when open,i can't see kooks gaining over that for the money. Get a cutout and save the money..
