I have them but waiting on my new engine to put it all together. Hopefully in a few weeks. Can't beat the quality! And for me cheaper then corsa!

What's engine set up are you getting? I ordered my kooks axle back a few days ago, now it's just a waiting game. I also got a killer deal on the entire kooks header, catted x pipe, and axle back through Maryland speed

I installed my full kooks exhaust (1 7/8" long tubes, full 3" catted x-pipe, full 3" axle back) over a month ago. I'm extremely happy with the results! Sounds amazing and perfect to me! Fitment is top notch, everything went in fairly easy. The hardest part was removing the stock passenger side axle back.

I don't have a sound clip but if you want one I can probably get one tomorrow. I highly recommend this system! Fitment, sound, and quality are all top notch!

Thank you for the quick response! I am switching axle backs for the 3rd time lol I would really appreciate an exhaust clip of you don't mind. I can give you my cell phone number if that's easiest for you.

Thanks

Are the Kooks axle-backs the same approximate weight as the stock titaniums?

The kooks is heavier since it's made of stainless steel vs the stock titanium
