Return my Kooks ORY for catted Y ? I'm just a few weeks away from finally doing this install, and I'm having second thoughts based on what I've read. Searches have not yielded the sound clip I need.
Stock motor, Kooks 1 3/4 LTs and Kooks ORY into Corsa catback.
The negative rasp comments have me worried.
Due to marginal ORY power gains versus better catted sound, should I return the ORY for a catted Y?
Thanks for your opinions. If anyone knows the EXACT location of the sound clip, I'd appreciate it. I've looked (stickies, LS1sound etc)

I cannot help on the sound clip, but I run Kooks LT's, Kooks ORY, and a Corsa and it will rasp like a damn wood haulin pickup between 2000 and ~2800 rpms. I have tried a redesigned merge and couple of different bullets mufflers in the I-pipe and they help a little, but it is still there and drives me crazy.
If you are concerned with sound quality and do not mind a minimal amount of HP loss, then go catted Y for sure.

Wow. Thanks for that feedback, that's what I need to hear. I figure, if I want the dealer to take em back, I can't "try" them first. Plus saves a lot of work reinstalling air pump etc.
2000-3000rpm....that's right where I am as a DD!
Thanks.

I have Kooks 1 3/4" to 1 7/8" stepped primary headers, Kooks Catted Y, and Corsa catback; This setup sounds perfect to me.....Nice and refined while cruising around it seems like I have a slightly deeper stock Corsa but after 3k it gets all sorts of angry sounding. Just a great all around combination. My car is a DD and my 65-70 mph cruise to work doesnt bother me nor have any low engine speed rasp. Hope that helps ya.

Great! Thanks HMFDZ28. That's 2 confirming opinions from both sides of the aisle.
Time to slink back to the dealer and hope the re-stock charge isn't too exorbitant.
Their service has been great so far.

Kooks has their own "Race" Cats they use now....they hold up better the the Random Techs from the few guys I have known that used both.
No Problems Paul.....Hopefully they can hook ya up with the catted Y
