Got the kooks installed... (not 56k friendly)

SilverBullet00 · Mar 19, 2007

I just thought I would throw up some pictures of the install for the hell of it. All in all the install wasn't that bad, if kooks would have thrown in some instructions (or have been open on sunday) it would have gone much smoother. Now that I know how to detach and reattach the one primary to get access to the top bolts and route the steering shaft I could seriously do it much faster. The steering shaft didn't fit between the primaries so after much swearing and brainstorming I finally realized I should disconnect the linkage below the steering wheel and feed the shaft in backwards through the header. Also, while I had it all torn down I decided to put on some poly motor mounts; very cool feeling

Once all put together and fired up she is LOUD! At idle and below 2000rpm's it sounds very quite inside the car, at WOT it SCREAMS! Most of this is to blame on the SLP catback; my next mod will be a flowmaster catback for sure.

Questions, comments?

I bought the headers and x pipe as a kit from livernois motorsports. Shipping was insanely fast! It does sound similar to those, but I think my setup is a tad bit louder with a sharper exhaust note. I will get a video up of WOT, I was going to do it today but it is raining.

The only reason I have the slp catback is because it was on the car when I bought it, otherwise I would have the American thunder catback
