Kooks Connection Pipes vs. Kooks Hi-Flow Cats Video Comparison

Thought I'd share a couple quick idle video's for anyone interested in the sound comparison. Mods that effect sound include..
Kooks 1 7/8" headers to (Kooks Hi-Flow Cats or Kooks 3" Off-road Connection pipes, Stock ZL1 cat back exhaust. Also note..car has Nickey Stage 2 Cam and Nickey CNC'd heads.

Please excuse the dirty car. Used a friends shop & drive over pit to switch out down a gravel road. Took about 45 minutes to change out at most.. I prefer the Kooks Connection Pipes myself. Drivability is still great and not over bearing.

Kooks 3" Connection Pipes

I'm new to posting videos.. Is there a way for the video to show up on this thread instead of just the link?
And not sure why I cant get my profil pic to show. the size is correct as well... any suggestions?

Thanks for the compliments!

When you post the link you need to get rid of the s from the HTTPS....just use HTTP....like this...





The connection pipes sound much better by the way.....I originally had hi-flow cats with my pfadt headers, but now have just connecting pipes.....although I swapped in the first place just because they failed....prefer the sound now though!
