Kooks & Solo

Picked up my car from my tuner after installing Kooks headers with high flow cats. This was added to my Solo Mach XC, looked at many YouTube videos however the sound on the videos don’t do justice. The sound in person is amazing, real happy with the results.

Those two products go well together! I have the same setup except for the coupe.

I have Kooks w/ cats and Solo Mach XL catback and it is music to my ears. Enjoy your new setup!

Also rich2342, at WOT it IS "loud a fook" for the person behind you. In the cab it is heavenly!

That's my educated response, wasn't it scholarly

I'd love a set up like that personally, but at the same time for practicality sake I wouldn't.

I have the Kooks 1 7/8 with HFC on my Flowmaster 409 thunder exhaust. Some have said it's not very loud. So I just shut them up so I can't hear them when I open My QTP cut outs.

You should try Kooks out an open set of cut-outs. Sounds like a NASCAR in the cab, but like OP says, vid doesn't do it justice. Take your pick.

Pre-tune

Since these pics and videos I've installed a factory ground effects package so I went back to Solo and ordered some exhaust tips to fit the ground effects openings. You can see them in my build thread.

Thanks. It's amazing what you can get with a GoPro and a suction cup mount. The video still doesn't quite do the setup justice, but it at least gets people a rough idea of what it sounds like.
