The kit that Kooks sells is all you need as long as you get the LT header with H OR X combo. I would not get the BBK over the Kooks. Make no mistake that Kooks is 1 of the best if not the best LT header maker. The fit and finish along with the durability and longgevity is 2nd to no one. The Kooks headers also made a good bit more hp and tq than the BBK in a dyno shootout. Do yourself a favor and do it right the first time with a quality product. JMO but that cat back with LT headers and no cats are going to be LOUDDDDDD! putting LT headers with high flow cats on a mild to stock cat back would be loud not to mention no cats and that cat back. The drone with no cats and an agressive catback would be bad also. Take it from me that you will love the catless LT headers and agressive catback for about a month. After that it just gets all kind of annoying on you daily commute. All the negatives for me just did not out way the positives.

Sounds like some really good information. Thanks. So just to clarify, With pypes violater mufflers, Kooks Long Tube headers and Kooks Catted H pype the sound would be good and would not annoy the **** out of me?

Do you still have them? I will have to get back with you. I still have not decided on what headers to buy.

Default Bassani headers

Since we talkin headers.....

Can you guys tell me how you feel about the Bassani Headers? They seem like they would be a much easier install.

What do you guys think?
