Good sounding exhaust

What! You hardly revved it at all :( Sounds good at idle, though. Thumbs up.

Make sure to do it soon. It's a really easy fix. If the tips get too hot they can melt your diffuser when out of proper alignment.

There is a video on YouTube that shows the install of the headers and the guy is using the stock exhaust and it sounds good. Hope that helps.

The Kooks 3" exhaust is pretty loud and has a some drone to it. The Kooks 2.5" exhaust on the other hand has a great deep tone, but no drone.

i really want to do this set up. but will it void my factory warranty?

Ieatfordsforlunch · 05-13-2012, 06:32 AM

It will void if the headers or hi flo cats caused the damage.

keep you car stock... its that simple

in other news, my headers and catback go on tuesday morning... I can't wait

LonghornLove · 05-13-2012, 10:50 PM

a lot of people here just reuse the stock ones. I put kooks gaskets on and it leaked on both sides.

I installed new gaskets from GM and no leaks.
My advice would be just get new ones for $25 each. It would of saved me a lot of money.

ENJOY!
