Default Kooks Finally installed!!!

Wow....... thats pretty much all i could mumble at start up.... mean as hell, install was a breeze due to the Fine work of RedJet aka Fidel G.

Sounds mean, loud, but what muffler to keep the loud but more of a deeper tone i'm running a cut out right now... but around 2.5- rpm in 1st a 2nd and part of 3rd gear due to my stall. I really dont want to lose any of the Rumble though.. any help?

Some pics on install and Finished Pro

Oh they are stainless? I had thought that their Y pipes (catted or off road) were mild steel. Cool.

Yeah, I'm thinking the same thing right now, 3 days after doing MY install.
