Default New Kooks True Duals on my Firehawk

So I've had this system on for a little while now and I love it. Much better then the hack job set-up that was on there before (from previous owner).







Next I want to lower it, and hopefully others with this system + lowered car chimes in.

Yeah I'll have to make some more videos. But I'm not sure what part #, I will have to look on my receipt. BTW I bought the catless system.

Thanks, it wasn't cheap but I'm really glad I went with it. And Maryland speed was great help!

Sounds great...cats or not? Mods?

I'm lowered on Eibachs and its tricky in places but as long as you're defensive, you'll be fine.

No cats, only major mods are the kooks LT's & TD's and ms4 cam.

Good to hear that you have eibachs. Would you by chance have any pictures you could send me of the ground clearance? And that's what I'm thinking also on being defensive.

I have koni/strano on all 4 corners, and I have no issues with exhaust clearance. Ive hit pot holes and bumps and there isnt a mark on the exhaust system. I also got the one with no cats.

Oh, and the noise it makes in a tunnel or parking garage

Good to hear, it will look so much better a little closer to the ground.

Haha yeah it sounds awesome in a parking garage, I have yet to take it through a tunnel.

Haha sorry man. That's what took me so long to decide on a system, I wanted to make sure 110% its what I want to spend my money on once and be done. I'll never need anothe exhaust for this car.

I have the same setup. ORX and 1 3/4" KOOKS LTs. It is LOUD, definately breaks necks cackling through car shows at idle.

I'm lowered around 2" on LG coil overs. Setup hangs lowest just in front/next to to the diff as it goes up/over the axle.

Setup drones bad around 2k. Sounds best cruising around 2500 but it is VERY loud and attracts attention good/bad.

I only do about a 1000 miles a year at best, so it doesn't bother me. They hate me at the dunkin donuts drive through in the AM though LOL.

You think the rasp has to do with the ORX? I would think their would be no rasp with this setup like a traditional Y-pipe
