I saw BDillon's '08 car last night with kooks, and they looked awesome. He has them with high flow cats and the factory npp exhaust....they will get your attention when he hits the baffle switch, even at idle and revving in neutral. I thought the fit and appearance was top notch.

I have kooks with the stock exhaust and even that sounds good. I am trying to find a catback that does not drone.

GHL - I have had 6 inch bullets for some time now and always get compliments without having drone.

BTW - I didnt know what Drone actually was when I first heard of it. I then got in a car with XX exhaust and at 1600 rpms I could not hear the person next to me

Yeah, the first exhaust I put on the car droned bad...but it is all in what transmission you have really.

That's good to hear. Been thinking of them myself, though where I am its around $2800 installed for the Kooks 1 3/4...that's a high price for what I think is about a .2 second gain. Maybe from Santa, though I heard this year its incorrect for Santa to say "ho ho ho". Its gotta be "ha ha ha".

There is only one manufacturer I believe that has absolutely no drone...Corsa. Got the Corsa Sports myself and can attest to NO drone.
