or you could just do LTs, mid pipe and leave the stock mufflers/catbacks so you have somewhat of a sleeper. If you do Long tubes you have to do a midpipe.
If I were to put mufflers on my car it would be pretty damn loud since I have an off road mid pipe. But since I did it thr way I did it sounds quiet at idle and not too loud on acceleration, At WOT it sounds pretty nasty.

Just headers took me about 8 hours the Kooks instuctions BLOW!!! They didn't even mention taking off the steering column that install was a bigger PITA than anything else but I'm glad I did it myself If you're gonna but headers you might as well do a full exhaust like me
Good Luck!

So that's LTs, mid pipe and stock mufflers? My plan was to do the Kooks headers, HF cats and Xpipe from Brenspeed with stock mufflers to see if I like the sound. A lot of the mufflers out there sound like a gurgly mess, and I kinda like the stock sound.

RE: Installing your own LT Headers
I am planning to order LTs in the short future. Currently, my exhaust setup is an o/r H-Pipe with Magnaflow mufflers and it sounds great, but I know with the addition of LTs, I will get that extra sound and performance I am craving. I do realize that with the addition of LTs, I have to either modify my H-Pipe or get a new shorty midpipe. I am desparate right now as to which brand/combo to purchase. I will take any advice out there. If your very satisfied with your setup, please let me know what your running...any input will be greatly appreciated. Thanks all!

RE: Installing your own LT Headers
Is the reason some are not commenting on the steering column removal because it is brand dependent if this is necessary? so the steering column goet through the kooks headers? how about the dynateck or ARH?

Just remember if you go LTs you need a new mid pipe. I love my BBKs by the way.
