I'm so excited : D

Well, I just HAD to have a Kooks O/R X.... so I bought one and put it on yesterday. Holy. Hell. It sounds a LOT like the Catted X. But on the road when you open it up, mother of God it wakes up. I love nothing more in this world than the sound of my car, petal to the floor, in an underpass on the highway.

But for now, all I have are these before and after videos. The second one, I didn't really get on it as much as I wanted to in the garage, as we were on base at the hobby shop and it was full of people. Even though it was loud as balls in the garage, they all seemed to like it. The videos don't quite do the lovely sound justice : )

Before (with Catted X):

After (with O/R X):

As for rasp.... when I'm idle and stop it like that, it's going to rasp, no way around it. When I'm on the road however, I do get the drone, which I actually like. It's not raspy while driving. Oh, and I had this annoying vibration sound I'd get from under my car around 2,000 RPM in any gear. Changing out the midpipe fixed that. Probably had a slightly loose bolt or something.

Dagostinoracing.com for $289

I've ordered from them 3 times now and they're great. Kooks wanted $350 or so direct.

Those Kooks Lts make for some good sound either way!
