JUST FINSHED INSTALLING A SET OF KOOKS HEADERS - Page 2 - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

Nice!

Thanks for posting the pics. Especially the one showing the underneath clearance. Most people aren't doning that.

Thats It! I'm absolutely going to have my headers ceramic coated before putting them on. That's the only way to go. They look great....and should look like that years from now.

Looks awesome, great pics.

Nice pics. And thanks for the ground clearance shot...it looks like they tuck in very nicely.

I hope that you kept your mufflers CAVERMAN.....once you go LT's you will need something to quiet it down some because it is LOUD as he!! otherwise. I had to pull my Magnaflow Competition system off and put the LS3 cans back on...which are pretty low resistance and the sound now is kick butt! JMHO

Lookin good man. Nice.

This tells the "clearance" story for everyone.

Meh its all relative dude. I DD my car with LTs and dumped 3" duals with 16" Powersticks. If you don't know what Powersticks are, they're a GMMG-esque bullet style chambered muffler. Now THAT sir is loud as hell yet I love it!

Nope...didn't keep the mufflers. I'm going to go with a complete 3" system like TSP, KOOKS, or maybe LG.

Even if I were to end up keeping the 2.5" I would have to add some street mufflers to quiet it down but by the time I do that I might as well just buy the complete kit for a couple hunderd more and have 3" all the way through. I'll probably sell my current exhaust for cheap and apply it to the new setup.

BTW: I really like your color combo with those stripes and ground effects.

Thanks for the kudo's! I love the SIM and Matte Black combo.

I am with you now...going with a complete 3" kit with mufflers you will sound awesome. I could not make a call from the car after I installed the Kook's with the muffler delete, people would say "ya there? he man you there? All I can hear is a loud noise!"....lol...

Enjoy your new kit which ever way you go. I sure wished that GM would have given the Camaro a more agressive growl out of the factory, but they don't cater totally to all of us gear heads.

I thought that camera was going to be history. It got the point across though.

The same ground clearance for Kooks LTs as stock is a bit of a stretch. The flanges are a good inch lower than stock. With GFX I have to approach obtacles at an angle anyway. It's not a big deal.
