nightmare03 Posted November 9, 2012 Report Share Posted November 9, 2012 Hey everyone! so i just got my 2003 Sss and I F'n LOVE it. first changes i made was powder coating my rims shine black to match my car and the front grill. But now my focus is power. So i have been doing alittle research and decided to go with headers and exhaust...but i wanted some opinions on the set up i am going with in terms of power and sound. so i have come up with this set up....1 7/8" kooks long tube headers, 3" true dual pipes, no cats and a magnaflow exhaust....here is my problem however. I have heard that with no cats it is too loud and doesnt have good sound and the smell is horrible, so i have heard that i should go with the kooks high flow cats or resonaters, i have also thought about using a possible offroad x or h pipe but i dont know the exact best combo for a loud deep sound and the most power. anyone done anything like this? any suggestions...i want to make the best decision i can so i came to were all the best people are at...please help. thank you all for reading...look forward to your suggestions and comments.

The_aSSet Posted November 9, 2012 Report Share Posted November 9, 2012 (edited) Dual 3" is overkill, the stock 2.5" pipes are more than enough. Also, link to the kooks headers? Edited November 9, 2012 by The_aSSet (see edit history) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Muggs Posted November 9, 2012 Report Share Posted November 9, 2012 (edited) Dual 3" is overkill, the stock 2.5" pipes are more than enough. Also, link to the kooks headers? X2 the stock exhaust is even good just change the stock muffler, as for headers do your research there are some good ones out there!

desrtrat Posted November 9, 2012 Report Share Posted November 9, 2012 living in LA, forget LT's and no cats will never pass smog..1 7/8 is way over kill for anything under 427 CI best is custom tune CAI and a good free flowing muffler...biggest issue here in CA is CARB...

Fireman31 Posted November 9, 2012 Report Share Posted November 9, 2012 You will have a big loss of low end TQ with that setup, 1-3/4 inch primaries and 2-1/2 inch exhaust should be plenty.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
canadianVRss Posted November 10, 2012 Report Share Posted November 10, 2012 Dear sweet 8 pound 4 ounce infantile baby Jesus, use the search button please. There has to be 5 threads on this already. Some are very detailed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GTRogers Posted November 21, 2012 Report Share Posted November 21, 2012 I have read a lot about the stock headers being pretty decent also... Never can hurt to upgrade though I suppose. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_aSSet Posted November 21, 2012 Report Share Posted November 21, 2012 I have read a lot about the stock headers being pretty decent also... Never can hurt to upgrade though I suppose. Where? Far as i'm concerned they're heavy and very restrictive. The 6.2 stock exhaust manifolds on the other hand I've heard are fairly decent for being stock.
