Just got an email from kooks saying the exhaust has shipped and should be in my possession on the 4th of September.

Its probably going to be a few weeks so the user above can get it on his car and report back how it fits before they go into mass production.

Well the kit showed up today. My Dad went ahead and installed it as planned. They didn't send me 2 90 degree bends like I asked so it will be awhile before the tips are on. The front pipes they sent with the kit did bolt up to their brand headers. I have a few pics that he sent but he will be taking more for me. If someone wants to post them I will email them to you. As I get more I will send them as well. All he sent pics of was the back pipes. I have him taking some of the front pipes and pics on the ground to show how low it hangs. Once I get all the pics I need I will email them to kooks and call them to see if there are any other questions or pics needed.

If you send me the pics, I can host and post. lt1sierra@yahoo.com

I'm excited to see this. I will probably buy if the price is right.

I will get an email sent out to 97z28 later on. The system doesn't fit perfectly but its close. I sent kooks some pics so hopefully they will make some minor tweaks. I am going to work on the pipe that runs from the x to the rearend and get it up some more.

You got 3 emails with 8 pictures.

Keep in mind guys that the car has just came off the lift. While doing the exhaust I had my dad install the strano springs and koni shocks/struts. I will be running this into a cme setup. Like I stated earlier, I am going to tweak this and get it to tuck alot better. I will be home for the holidays to work on it more so that's when it will happen.

I think it should be tech law that the universal tool for measuring ground clearance is to be a beer can. I kid, I kid.

It definitely needs tucked a little better. I'm still on the fence. I don't know what route I'll be going, but that's irrelevant to the thread. Send me the rest of the pics to post when you get it tucked up and all.

On a side note, the undercarriage of your car is ridiculously clean. I'm jealous.

Clean, I want to paint the bottom side black. The car has ALOT of money invested in it. Hopefully I will be able to get the interior in, stereo wired up, and exhaust tweaked while I am home. Car has been a 6 year project.

Clean is an understatement! The exhaust looks Great but your right. It is hanging alittle low. There isnt any way of turning the pipes to perhaps tuck them up more?

The way the bend is in the intermediate pipe it looks like I need to cut some from the bend. Once I do that I will need to add some to the pipe after the bend. I might even massage the floorboard alittle.

Drew told me to remove the heat sheild in the back for the gas tank and that will allow it to tuck more. Going to try and get the sheild though.
