Kooks install complete = WOW

Picked up the car this morning, my mechanic had the long tubes and cats on in 2.5 hours, that also includes putting in a 160 thermostat.

Downloaded the JRE tune with the SCT tuner, less than 10 minutes.....still waiting for the CAI intake to come in.

WOW! the power and throttle responce is amazing...along with the sound too.

DEFINATE reccomended mod for anyone who hasnt done it yet.

just curious, will that throw any code?
Also a noob question, what's the difference between 1 7/8 and 1 3/4 and 2" long tubes?

Installing long tube headers and high flow cats will set the cat efficiency codes...you need a tune to disable them.

Here's a good place to start reading about header primaries...it's a highly debated topic:
