I have them on true duals which worked out great.
If you want a y pipe.. kooks is OK. I hear some stuff about alot of banging going on with their y pipe too..
But I cant speak from experience there.
Sorry.

QTP HVMCs. If I were to choose to cut my car up, between LTs, it would be the QTPs. I got more power, they look sweet ( I looked under my hood everyday ;D ), went in pretty easy, and just a bit of grinding. Of course, those pretty polished primaries also stood out to the CHP officer who gave me a ticket for them, because they stood out. Almost lost my car because of that.
Regarding the statement about the HVMCs adding 5"s, IMHO, I believe the length of the collectors are the same between the standard and HVMC collectors on the QTPs. It appears, through photo comparisons, on cars, the Kooks collectors are a bit shorter, overall, than both QTP styles. I can say that my QTP catd' Y-pipe fit the same between both styles, I had on the same car. Not trying to be argumentative, but, I believe both QTP style collectors are the same length.

Also I'd haft to say my vote goes to Kooks for a better y-pipe fitment. Anything that cost you a grand better not have any fitment issues. IMO

that is what i meant by it being longer.. b/c of the HVMC..
you got my point Jordan
can someone explain the HVMC to me. i sort of get the idea. does it have to do with the 4 primaries that merge into the 3" collector? lol it sounds redundent.. what is the purpose of HVMC??

At least Kooks will stand up at the plate when there is a problem with their product.

If not your on your own, they didn't stand behind anything I purchased.
It seems like everything is the customer's fault with them. They basically told me I didn't know what I was doing. I'm a Mechanical/Aerospace Engineer. My current duties involve the development of component repairs and maintenance issue mitigation involving rotary wing air-craft.
LMAO

so they were right
.... right??? 
joking.... thanks... i think ill take that into great consideration...
i have heard of alot of fitment issues with the QTP's (of recent atleast) and i really havnt heard of any issues w. KOOKS... i kno they;'re much bigger then other options for the performance aspect obviously but for very very very similar performance it seems like KOOKS may be the way to go...
any other comments/concerns???
