WOW! It sounds like a big block with the cut outs open. I have a question though. Can you chose in which direction the cut outs face? Say for instance, towards the ground, or off to the sides?

Mine and 2L8's are installed like this:

This portion of the exhaust:

It's about the only place they fit that the wont drag... typically... right JD?

Ah, yes. Now, I see your point. I totally forgot about dragging.

Speaking from personal experience, his car is a freakin BEAST! I had it sideways coming off an exit ramp (on purpose). I'm sure he'll never let me drive it again so I had to make the first time count!

Rear suspension mods on tap for this winter. Have the Pfadt rear trailing arms, toe rods, solid subframe bushings, and differential bushings ready to be put on.

Wife's family planned the shower for the weekend I wanted to come down! MLK weekend. I may be able to cut loose (weather dependent) January 7/8th? Thoughts?

You know better Jason!! It was FUN.....I was just reminding you that you were driving with about 240 more HP than you were used to. She'll jump out from under you quicker than a $2 whore!

As far as dragging the cutouts.... I wouldn't mount them any other location, especially if you're dropped like I am.

What kinda bit are you using? And how much of the mesh do you have to remove?

I have some used JBA high flow cats sittin in my room. Can the insides just be knocked out with something out of curiousity, or are they welded in there somehow?

There have been a couple people lost their motors because of them.

I'm glad you mentioned this, here in the Camaro community they think Kooks are the cats meow. Not going on my car.
