Kooks Headers but what exhaust
So i'm thinking of going with Kooks 1 7/8 long tube with high flow cats. What exhaust should I pair with it, I had decided on the Borla Atak but now i'm not sure if that or the Borla 3" Touring Catback Exhaust w/ X-pipe would be a better choice. I want Power and sound but don't want it to be to obnoxious. Any suggestions on these or other systems?

If you can afford it, I say go for the full Kooks exhaust.

No drone with flowmaster hushpower (now pro series muffler). Quiet and tame unless you have your foot down. |

of course every one will recommend what they have. but i like borla S-type, corsa, maganflow, flowmaster AT. just to name a few, but i would not run atak with headers, it doesn't sound very good. very raspy.

We have a Guy in our group that has KOOKS with a SOLO CAT Back, talk about waaaay too loud. It sounds like lightning clapping!!
He loves it though.

I was also looking at Kooks 1 7/8 LT with Flowmasters AMT cat back. Can you post a video so we can hear that combo?

I'm running the same set up as SSOOCH and love it. I have a friend who had the ATAK setup with ARH headers and no cats on his car and it was obnoxiously loud. When he'd start it up it sounded like a NASCAR stock car. It was very raspy when he stood on it. He has since removed and sold it and went with some flowmasters. His wife and neighbors are much happier.

Depends on how loud you want and whether or not you can tolerate drone. Magnaflow street series is quiet at idle and little drone. Too quiet at w.o.t for me and I am disappointed with the quality. KOOKS 3" was my first choice and I understand their new sleeper is nice.

We recomend an all Stainless Works system with the retro chambered catback! You can't beat this sound!

With LT headers, you want an exhaust that would be considered quiet for a stock car. Anything 3" will drone because the larger diameter pipe lets the sound resonate more.
I have two Camaros, and on the M6 supercharged one we run the Borla Stinger, and on the A6 one we run the 2.5" Kooks Street Sleeper. Here is a video of our supercharged M6 with the Borla Stinger on the dyno. This exhaust is not too loud, and great for daily driving with headers, but screams when you get one it. And here is the A6 car with the Kooks Street Sleeper 2.5" exhaust- |
