Slowhawk - you have quite the eye - Yes there was one place where we had to flatten the floor. Right above where we placed the two resonators, (under the rear right passenger seat), we had to make some room. KOOKS checked with us first before naking and modification to the floor.
The new system was well worth the "big hammer".

for those worried, its right in the "cup" of the rear seat. you could beat it all the way in if you wanted. rear seat fits like factory still.

Pre-order count......for possible manufacturing run? Guys - How many of you would actually place an order? Let's start a Pre-order count to give KOOKS an idea for a possible manufacturing run....

I have cash right now and would be in if the price is right. I have no problems paying for quality. A sound clip would do wonders for selling this as well. What kind of price range are we looking at here.

id like to see it in 2 1/2 and with an h pipe 
are those cats up front or resonators?

That is one of the cleanest true dual systems I have ever seen. Why someone doesn't just make a jig and manufacture one is beyond me. I would buy that in a heartbeat. As a matter of fact, why doesn't KOOKS start making them now, i will send my deposit to be the first.

a sound clip will be up by this weekend. I just have to get some free time to make one. The mufflers arent really that visible from standing back looking at the car. You cant really see them until you bend down to look at the artwork under the car. LS2 Bait - Yes those are cats upfront after the headers, then resinators right before the axle. The reason why noone makes a jog for this a puts it in production is because there are soo many factors that makes the exhaust different. All the suspension mods makes it very difficult to make a jig where the exhaust to fit. Everything fromt he drive shaft saftey loop, to the torque arm and torque arm relocation mount gets in the way of the exhaust, so it all has to work around that.

For those screaming for a production run, I just don't see it happening. They took an interest count a long time back (maybe 2 years ago at this point), and showed a product that looked damn near identical to what you see in this thread. The price was gonna be something around $1200, and everyone balked at the price. They started bitching and moaning about how expensive it was, and lost interest. I don't see how this setup would be any cheaper, even mass produced - as a matter of fact, they'd be doing themselves a disservice by selling it for less than $1500, and I think it would be even more with the amount of fabrication that would go in to something like this. You'd also run in to an issue with the different headers - each header exits a little differently, and that would add to the difficulty of install as you'd be doing some tweaking to make it work. Then there's the obvious clearancing that you'd have to do, and I'm sure there would also need to be some custom hangars put up somewhere in there.
Bottom line - don't hold your breath. If it is one thing this site is famous for, it is people bitching about how much things cost and losing interest. I've seen it with wheels, I've seen it with exhaust, I've seen it with heads.
