"Cam Only"
|
Installed my Kooks headers (before/after vid)
So I ordered my Kooks 1 7/8" long tube headers and high flow cats from Apex Chase last week. Finally got a chance to install them this weekend.
All in all it was fairly straight forward. I love the sound, and I can't wait to get it tuned by Ryne @ CMS next week and see some dyno numbers. I used my GoPro Hero 3 Black Edition to do a little comparison. Just to make a disclaimer, the audio (mic on the GoPro) in the video doesn't do it justice to just how great my Camaro really sounds now. First, here's the video comparison from before and after: Watch it in 1080p Here's a video of how it sounds at idle (recorded with my iPhone 5) : Watch in 1080p Here's where during the install I decided I wanted to hear what open headers sounded like. Video was recorded with my iPhone 5 and doesn't even remotely come close to showing how loud and powerful it sounded: Watch in 1080p Here's some pictures: Here's when I got the headers from Apex Motorsports. Amazingly fast shipping, and great customer service and communication from Apex Chase,   Here's how the car sat during install,  Here's a factory exhaust manifold and a factory cat,  Here's the view from underneath,  Had to do a little adjusting to get the drivers side cat to be friends with the NPP exhaust,  Fun day, well worth all the money, time and effort.
