TBerry95z28 04-25-2011 02:30 AM

looks good a lil pricey though

ILuvPizzaTimes10 04-25-2011 02:30 AM

i dont see why its taken someone this long to do this. i bought a true dual 2.25 inch cat back for 100 bux for my third gen in what 99. Come on Guys.

84ta406 04-25-2011 02:32 AM

Agreed, thats what my room mate said, the cars havent been made for 9 years now.. it does look shiny though..

black heartbeat 04-25-2011 02:34 AM

and why isn't there one for the lt1? that isn't made by basani and costs 1200

ILuvPizzaTimes10 04-25-2011 02:35 AM

My84Z 04-25-2011 02:38 AM

ILuvPizzaTimes10 04-25-2011 02:50 AM

nah i was lme and had the turd gen and the frosted tips i was ALL FUCKED UP!

*LS1* Queen 04-25-2011 02:52 AM

saw that a few weeks ago...i want it but too much damn money!! lol

Batman 04-25-2011 03:00 AM

C'mon now, you'll pay $1200 for the first 3 feet of exhaust from kooks but not $1800 for the next 12? lol

c4boom 04-25-2011 03:21 PM

yes but if you took the headers and laid out each individual pipe and then the bend and weld time there is probably 3 times as much into them than that catback

Slowhawk 04-25-2011 03:28 PM

They've had these for over a year.Looks like they finally posted them. Very nice kit, all stainless and a true 3". 2.5" kills power over a single 3".Dual 3" is good.

Good price too. No local shop could do it as nice or cheaper.

I know nice work with that!! looks good must have sounded sick.

MTBSully 04-25-2011 07:29 PM

theres a thread over on tech about how the fitment sucks and last i checked kooks wasnt doing much to back it up

basani does a full catback for 1200 for the lt1 dude

Formula413 04-25-2011 08:58 PM

The price is reasonable for what it is. But even so if I was gonna pay that much I would expect perfect fitment. Also what do you do if it's too loud? You can't just add a bullet muffler somewhere.

*LS1* Queen 04-25-2011 09:53 PM

u dont buy true duals to be quiet lol

Formula413 04-25-2011 10:03 PM

If you want loud just get a cutout. I would want them to sound good. And hopefully make some more power.

ls6monte 04-25-2011 11:11 PM

I have true duals and how quiet is my car????????? lol

ILuvPizzaTimes10 04-26-2011 02:33 AM

MTBSully 04-26-2011 02:09 PM

+1 I got quoted $1200 by skips exhaust off 125 in Plaistow with dual header back magnaflow mufflers x pipe and 2 2.25" over the passenger side axle. Buttttt I decided to go for a full stainless 3" single Magnaflow catback for $300 cyber monday special.

CJaguar265 04-26-2011 08:19 PM


Here is that same kit on a 1989 firebird

84ta406 04-27-2011 12:30 AM

Thats not even close to the same...

Not even worth the effort for 2.25", a single 3" will outflow it

yes, it is. he posted the video on thirdgen.org and said he used the same exhaust system that I posted

http://www.thirdgen.org/techboard/af...-kit-jegs.html

*LS1* Queen 04-27-2011 02:07 AM

$2000 kooks exhaust > $200 jegs exhaust lol

kooks 4 gen > jegs third gen

most third gen owners are cheap bastards and will never pay 2000 grand for a exhaust

that $2000 could be used someplace else

ILuvPizzaTimes10 04-27-2011 02:20 AM

i agree its over priced. good kit? that goes with fitment. Kooks Quality is Good so you know it will last. and as long as you dont get bord with it or mechanically ruin it. it will last forever. will i pay 1800 for it..... No ill wait till some ass whipe parts his car out and has one on tech for half.

Agreed, but its not all about flow... Tru duals have a nice sound and pretty cool custom mod to have.

agreed it is sweet unit but it is alot of money.
Anything aftermarket will have some fitment issues requiring trial and error.

Has anyone tried Lou's custom exhaust? i heard they are good as well

ILuvPizzaTimes10 04-27-2011 02:41 AM

hahaha goto Lous i dare you. and then wen your shit hits the floor and falls off i know a place that will do it right......
