    Exclamation Kooks Gen II (In Car Video Added)(Outside of Car Video Added)

    Well, I recieved my mufflers last week and got them put on today so Tigger is ready to go up to Livernois for his check-up. I took it out for a drive, and am pretty happy with the sound. The twang is gone. As for the sound inside the car....Nothing I wouldn't expect out of a 400+HP car with headers. Sounds like an old school big block. No more stealth mode for me, but I'm cool with that.

    Awesome vids... The NASCAR version is bad ass. That thing sounds incredible. Now if only that were legal!

    I was pretty impressed with the Kooks sound as well. The start up sound was pretty cool, but when reved, it sounded reaaaalllly nice. Sweet ride!

    If you don't mind me asking, where did you order the Gen II? Do the retailers selling these know if they are shipping the first version or Gen IIs?

    Sounds great and I think I am going to copy you on this one. I have the 1 7/8 ARH myself.

    I actually had one of the very first sets from Kooks of the Gen I, which gave me fits. This was Kooks going well out of there way to make it right with me. You can contact Livernois I believe, or Maryland Speed stress you want the II's and you should be good. I can't guarantee you'll duplicate the sound w/out a cam, but might be worth a shot. good luck!

    We're in the process of taking care of that. Won't be as aggressive as yours, but will work well with my MagnaCharger setup.
