....is all I can say after install the Kooks LT with x-pipe & cats!

What a difference; I have the LPE intake, Magnaflows, & have not had the car tuned yet, but man, did it wake up.

Stabbing the throttle in the lower gears now burns rubber at will.

No codes either.

It's louder, particularly from the rear, so some Dynamat Extreme may be in order for the trunk.

I did the same Kooks install last week and I felt a real nice difference but my rear tires don't spin. Do you need the Z51 gears for this??
