i just did mine 2 weeks ago, the car is still quiet until you nail it than it sounds great. on the highway it quiet in 6th gear or between 2000-3000rpms. starts up like a lion prurs like a cat.

They sound great in my opinion. Make sure you get an X pipe with it.

I just installed Kooks 1-3/4 long tubes on my '04 Vert. It already had Corsa Indy catback. It's WAY too loud for my taste. I expect that I'll have to replace either the Kooks or the Corsa.

Put the Ti's on and it is music to the ears. To me, the perfect balance between V8 rumble and quiet enough to catch a few ricers as a sleeper, until I get on the tall skinny pedal and then it roars.

I had the same combo and found it way too loud. I replaced the corsa's with the ti's and now it's perfect

Us Scott's must think alike.

I have kooks with the hiflo cats, xpipe, and TIs. I also have a h/c package that adds some sound. I think the sound is perfect for cruising and wot. And, you get a nice weight saving to boot with the TIs.
