Default Kooks Longtubes installed! UPDATED with pics/video

Hey guys I just installed a set of kooks long tubes with catted h-pipe. I got a killer deal from maryland speed. The install took about 5 hours and was alot harder than I expected. I gotta give some props to the guys that do it on the ground cus I did it on a lift and it was a bit of a pain. This was my first long tube install ever so my second time around will be alot faster and easier. I am still running my roush cat-back which sounds awesome with the kooks. It is pretty loud but it sounds so mean now I love it. Chris Rose came through with an updated tune file for me at like 10:30pm on a friday so huge thanks to him. The car runs great and has a big difference in power from before and def complimented my cams. I will have some pics and video within the next couple days. It was very windy this weekend and the video would sound horrible. So keep an eye on this thread for updates on pics and video. Any preference on videos?

Drove to work this morning and I love the exhaust def easy to make quiet if need be by up shifting. This thing is a beast now with the longtubes. This is up at the top of the best mods done so far.

Appears from the picture that you got uncoated headers. How come?

I did mine on the floor on my back and it royally sucked. What's killing me now is that I have a small leak and I really don't want to go through all of this again so I may end up paying someone to replace all the bolts and the gaskets.

Congrats on the install.

Yep just stainless no coating. Not too concerned about getting them coated. I understand the benefits but didnt really feel like waiting.
