+61HP,+55TQ w/Roto-Fab CAI, Kooks LTH and Tune by R.P.M. - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

MEDISIN · 03-21-2010, 08:09 AM

I'm extremely pleased with the gains from these additions.
1) Roto-Fab CAI
2) Kooks 6511-complete (1 7/8" LTH, catted x-pipe, mufflers)
3) Tune by R.P.M. Motorsports (Garner, NC)

My baseline dyno was done at ~1000 miles, the recent results ~2200 miles. The throttle response is tremendous, especially at low RPM. The sound is aural bliss! I was concerned it would be raspy, screaming, obnoxious but it's not. The best word to describe it is "aggressive". At idle and below 2000 RPM it's actually pretty quiet. When you hit it, it sounds just like a muscle car should

BIG thanks to Keith and Ryan at R.P.M. for their advice, great prices and quality work!

Here are the before and after clips for comparison. The first "rev" in each clip is to 3,000 RPM, the second rev is to 6,000.

Beautiful Gains ... Sucks to be in CA.

I saw very similar gains with my intake, exhaust and tune. Very nice!

Ryan and crew do some sick work. Another great example.

If you feel froggy lets those crazy SOB's go inside your motor and then it's HOLY HELL results.....

Havn't seen a RPM dyno sheet in FAR TOO LONG! Great group Ryan has, Billyman and Martin are class acts and walk the walk. STAY WITH EM. They will make your car a dream!

Congrats on the gains and thanks for including our products in your build!

Hey MEDISIN....

Is there any way you can get some in cabin and drive by videos of the KOOKS system?

I'm on the fence on either the TSP exhaust or KOOKS. There really isn't much video of either system out there.

I'm thinking the KOOKS is going to be a little more aggressive sounding (which I want) over the Magnaflow mufflers used on the TSP.

Any more feedback you can provide about the KOOKS exhaust? Anything you don't like about it? Is it fairly loud at low RPM or only loud when your getting on it?

How about the throttle response? I'm sure it's 10x better than it was.

Dang that sounds nice!
