Who's running Kooks Full Exhaust System?

Can anyone direct me towards someone in SE Michigan who is running a Kooks 3" Full Exhaust system on their 5th Gen SS?

Thanks kcsr6,
Anything else you can add? Does/don'ts, likes/don't likes?
I am looking at exhausts and have narrowed it down to a few options but, I was hoping to find someone near me with one so I could get a first hand real world experience of the sound. I've listened to a lot online and heard a couple in the past at events but wasn't really focused on analyzing the sound at that point.
Will you be attending Superfest or C5 Fest? If I haven't come to a decision by then maybe we could meet up if you are attending

I've only had it on the car for about a week now so I don't have a lot feedback on it yet as the Camaro is not my DD. I will tell you that sound clips online don't do this system justice. It has avery deep tone which I wanted and WOT sounds like a true muscle car(comparing to my dads 69ss396). I wanted something that you could hear coming down the road. I would reccomend you coat the headers just the look is cool I think. I also went with the cat delete system so this makes is even louder I think. I don't have any complaints so far nor do I think I will, I researched a lot before purchasing and I couldn't be happier with the Koooks setup. I am planning on attending c5 fest and other events in the Indy area this spring/summer. If you are as well I'd be happy to meet up with you so you can hear it in person.

Thanks Kyle!
Man, That 427 with the open headers is one sick sounding beast!!!
I was just looking for someone running the full 3" kooks that I could hear in person to make sure it's really what I'm lookIng for. Based off what I have heard so far it is but, I was just looking for some solid reassurance before I drop that pile of cash on the table.

no problem... too bad i didnt see this earlier.. i just shipped the exhaust and headers to texas. would have been easier and cheaper for us to just take them down to you. haha.

cant wait to meet up with you guys soon. hopefully on the 12th at Rogers.. fingers crossed the car gets done
