i've heard of hi flow cats not lasting that long, maybe a year or 2.
it will be louder w/ o/r x pipe.
if its too loud and obnoxious, maybe its time you joined the boomtube crew!

I certainly wouldn't expect to hear that with a Kooks system. I assumed you called them?

ya.. honestly.. im 100% for more noise.. but that might just sound like toooo much.. but then again, it could sound awesome.. but those kookers with an x pipe would sound great with mid mufflers or magnapacks, or any glasspacks really... look into doing those.. i know advance auto parts has thrush glass packs for dirt CHEAP right now... i think like $35 a pc.. have em put in hugging the drive shaft.. think about it!

I think one of my cats is going...Around 3k rpms I hear this loud rattle...Is it common for them to only rattle around a certain rpm? And I am guessing ford doesnt cover them?
