Are there any opinions on Kooks exhaust systems.

Hey guys!! 1 I just installed the Ford Racing Muffler axelback on my 2006 GT. I was curious if anyone is having a problem with exhaust leak? I torqued the clamps down to the recommended 35 foot lbs. Any help??
Thanks Jim

I put on the Kooks headers and catback system with performance cats and I am very happy with them. Quality is great.

Didn't go through all of the post on this particular forum, but does anyone currently have the side exhaust set-up from either Cervini or Blow-by-Racing. Looking for input on how they sound and if there were any performance losses/gains. I currently have the Axleback Flowmasters and love the sound, but really like the look of the side exhaust. Just don't want to loose that muscle sound (deep roar). Any comments and or advise is greatly appreciated.

Hey EasyGt-

I got two standard muffler clamps and added them in front of the two clamps that came with the mufflers. Basically one right below the seam and the other down about an inch. It sealed it right up! I also cranked them down much harder than the recommended 35 ft lbs. I hope that helps ya out. I do know you do NOT want to have any leaking what so every coming from you exhaust!

-Jim

Change exhaust for the sound, not performance.

05/06 stangs have a nice 2.5" exhaust with a header like front. Even with a blown engine exhaust upgrade seems to make little difference.

I guarantee some of the suggested changes slightly decrease horsepower. Not that that will make any difference either.
