All work was done by AZ Power and Sound in Phoenix. Can't wait to hear this bad boy fire up. Mufflers are all Magnaflow.























Just thought that I would share.

Are those custom headers from KOOK’s? The exhaust system looks like it bolts up to the headers. I have the slip on y-pipe with cats, and it was a pain trying to get it to slip on, it was such a tight fit.

Can't wait for a sound clip.

Sound clip soon to come when I get the car back.

And the bolt flanges are the only custom part. The shop welded / installed them to bolt up to the true duals.

All Kook's headers are custom.

Dude that is a nice looking setup, I'm sure it's going to sound tough. That's the 2nd under the axle setup that I've seen. What's a setup like that cost from the headers back?

Looking forward to a clip.

Not at this time, sorry. Car is still at the shop, these were just sent to me bythe owner. I can tell you that the subframes are the lowest point on the car though. The exhaust actually sits higher than stock systems.

Call for pricing as each system is custom and varies. 408-966-1168


And thanks for all the compliments guys.

I wanted to do the same thing. Just to tone it down a little bit. If you do it, get some sound clips!

Looks like a pretty nice setup, can't wait to hear what it sounds like!

Looks good, but why didn't you do a setup where you could disconnect the tail pipes? Kind of a bummer that you have to drop your whole exhaust system just to drop the rear-end...

Lifted the car several times, hours at a time, and never dropped the exhaust. Haven't had a problem with it yet.

Actually I don't. I live in Tucson AZ the land of steep driveways and huge speed bumps and I have had under the axle true duals for over three years and never had a problem with them yet.

The purpose of the second set of race mufflers is to reduce interior noise and exhaust drone. And they serve their purpose incredibly well.
