Default TTS -> Kooks Upgrade - "Before" Teaser

My 1 7/8" Kooks headers, 3" X/mid-pipe go in on Thursday and I wanted to make sure I made a "before & after" video for comparison. Here's a video of the current set-up. You can make out a slight idle surge, but that should be gone after the Shaner S2 throttle body and re-tune (hopefully Thursday as well.)

Before Video (Right-click and SAVE-AS please! ;) )

Sounds great, what's the whole setup - i.e. which exhaust, H/C? Looks like PRTs.

Mine should be in this week can't wait to get them on. I don't know about you guys but i'm paying someone to put mine on. From what i have read on the forum it is not an easy job.

Thanks! The exhaust is a B&B Tri-flo with the bypass to make them PRT-like. The heads/cam is an RPM Stage 1 set-up (www.real-performance-motorsports.com) with a relatively small cam (224/230 581/572 113*). The car went 11.40s with that set-up, so I'm hoping to find another tenth or two with the bigger Kooks. We'll see. :steering:
