Cheaper to just buy kooks headers and fab up your own true duels. What muffler they plan on running?

Nice, kooks headers are awesome, the ones I have on my 93 fit perfect. Glad to see new products and interest from companies in these LT1 cars.

I agree I got a pair of there LT. And love them! Now other companies need to follow and do more for our cars. Like a big inch LT1 block hint hint. Granted that's not going to happen. Lol

I would imagine it'll be exactly like their system for the LS1 cars except with the pipes positioned to fit their LT1 headers at the front of the vehicle. Really shouldn't be a big deal at all for them to make.

I will buy it. I called kooks about the difference between the collectors placement on lt's vs ls's. They couldn't tell me squat other than bring it to them so they could build me one. I imagine it will be the same price as the ls system.

It will be the same price as the LS1 F-Body System. The front pipes are different on the LT1 cars. The left side of the "Y-Pipe" is different. We have had a lot of inquiries to do this set up, we have also had customers buy the exhaust and adapt it to the LT cars. We will have an LT car in here to make the adjustments to the front pipes, and have a complete exhaust package. Mufflers that are used in this system is our round race mufflers.

The set up sound really good. We orignally designed it for higher HP street cars, but on a basically stock 2002 Automatic TA, Kooks 1 3/4 Headers, Kooks True Dual, K&N Air box, & PCM for Less Tune, made 350 HP 360 ftlbs. So it is pretty safe to say it makes power.

I wonder how it would sound with some GMMG chambered mufflers.

I've got a kooks custom exhaust on my old 94 Lt1 before i sold it this past week. I hacked off the whole system so i can use it on my LS1 car when i get one. It's way cheaper to buy the mufflers seperate. I'd rather put 1800 towards a forged rotating assembly vs a catback....
