kooks headers and full exhaust? bought a 2000 ss couple days ago no paperwork on the car, not much history either. I'm looking to put a real exhaust on the car. It currently has 3' true duals dumped before the axle Car is lowered and they bang around. They sound good but it could use a little calmer quieter exhaust. It has Kooks Headers on it. Trying to find what would fit with those headers. It has what i believe are these headers.

thanks, do you mean that any true dual system from another brand should slip on to the collectors?

I know when I bought my car it had kooks headers and a y pipe that matched up exactly to the y pipe that came with my speed engineering headers that replaced them later on (dumb idea) so you might be able to get a speed engineering y or a TSP y and then mate that up to whatever catback you'd like from there. I'd personally make the swap back to a y pipe because IMO duals of any brand and muffler combo on these cars don't sound as good as the TSP catback I have. But that's a personal opinion and others may not agree.

I'd gladly spend the money to have better quality headers. Made a huge mistake selling my kooks and an even bigger one putting speed engineering on. They tick, the flanges warp and lose bolts and studs, y pipe fits terrible, etc. My next set will be American Racing as I have read they fit even better than kooks. Plus the purchase is supporting an American company and workers. And after the last 2 years, that's more important to me.
NOT to mention the fitment was a qazillion times better than TSP

I'm in the "Buy eBay headers and run em" camp. I see no reason to spend $2k on headers just because big name company says so. I will say though that the last headers I installed were custom made and custom fit so that does make me a bit spoiled.
