The sound is great, even better than the muffler delete with the stock manifold. The tone is deeper than the Borla Atak muffler, maybe it's due to the bigger pipes (3 vs 2.5). Now I'm off to get a dyno tune next week and see what gains I get. My baseline was 383 at the wheels.
Kooks is very high quality. Pipe diameter does have an impact but the ATAK mufflers are acoustically tuned as well. They are pretty complex mufflers.
