It is actually a bit too quiet for me and I may be adding some cutouts.

Yea, I friggin drove down there today and it begins to pour as soon as I hit tampa city limits... so he just killed AFM for me (that alone was a huge help) until we could get a dry day to do the full run... Of course, as I drive away the sun comes out and the streets begin to dry... oh well

Ah, summers in hurricane country.

I installed my Kooks LTs about a month ago and LOVE them. With the muffler delete it gets really loud when over 3,000 but I love but thats exactly what I wanted.
The other day I had my daughter with me. There was no traffic in sight so I stopped n did a nice smokey burn out and laughed all the way home. My daughter was laughing her butt off saying Im just like a little kid. lol

I was on the fence to do this because of warranty worries for months and months. Finally took the leap, and if ANY of you guys are like I was and unsure about the purchase, don't be. If you can comfortably afford the purchase, DO IT!!! and DO IT NOW!!

I swear it feels like I got a brand new car all over again. I had a 30 minute ride from the shop back to my destination and I swear I was actually laughing out loud it was so bad ass. Performance aside, the sound alone will make you feel like a kid all over again. We all get the stares from time to time, but these were different... these were people scared to know what the hell was under the hood lol! I cannot imagine the looks you cammed guys get... I had mustangs and 350s which would normal give me the hate stare or run off past me, but it seemed they were to concerned with what I actually had to test it. Again, it feels like a brand new car all over again..

I went Kooks LTs with cats, Borla S type Catback, CAI inc, and Rx Catch can (can from jannetty / bolt ons from Marylandspeed) Install was done by Xplosive performance in Longwood which had great customer service and Tampa Tuning is tuning this today.. I imagine I will get the grins all over again afterwards. Put quite a few miles on it yesterday and today and surprisingly no codes thrown just yet...

I am trying to set up camera to take a video of the sound for you guys today... I don't get where the issues of drone exist. Unless you drive a honda accord as your DD, drone hasn't bothered me at all. Yes, AFM sounds like an apache landing on my roof, but that will be gone before dinner tonight.

Pics/vids tonight!

Very COOL...Good to hear...My appointement is for Monday...
Headers & Tune...Already have Airaid * Borla...Can't wait...

I was kinda in your shoes, but I finally ordered my Kooks 6511 1 7/8" headers and complete 3" exhaust on Monday, getting them installed with a tune next week. I can't wait.

I hope I get it finished up by Saturday.

shawn18 · 05-06-2011, 09:44 PM

Me too. I am wanting to do headers as well. I just don't know when I will do them.

I've been waiting, but I don't know what for. After putting the Roto-Fab cai on, it kinda set me on fire and then after last week at the Dyno Day, I couldn't stand it any longer.

I know. Its addictive , once you start you can't seem to stop!

Bryan · 05-07-2011, 03:00 AM

I have the same exact setup as the OP minus the catch can and it is AWESOME!

steeleshark2 · 05-07-2011, 08:05 AM

That's awesome! I plan on going back over to see Bob and Ben soon to get a cam and headers installed also. I'm going to have the full Stainless Works exhaust. Your post has kind of lit a fire under my butt to get it done sooner. About their customer service though, you're completely right. That's why I recommended them to you. Would love to see the video or maybe even hear it in person.
