Cool Cutouts are installed (pics)
Had my cutouts welded into my Kooks offroad pipes by a buddy of mine in Traverse City. Usually does turbo manifolds for 4 cylinder cars (Lovefab), but likes to get his hands on a V8 car every now and again. He used stainless 3" pipe and tig welded it to my Kooks, they look like they came this way from Kooks. They came out way better than I ever thought, see for yourself!






When I open them up the sound is insaine, my cam hits so hard it shakes the mirrors Videos soon...

He did one hell of a job welding them on. Looks real good and probably sounds even better.

That looks amazing!

I'm thinking that cut outs on the headers would be just good power wise as true duals, right guys?

That welding job is one of the best I've ever seen, anywhere. Excellent work. I can only imagine that it sounds insane with them opened up. Almost makes me want to go to a setup like that.
