Default My new mod

Just got a set of Kooks stepped headers and cats. They are Jet Coated in silver and almost look like polished stainless. I was going to do the install but just don't have the spare time. Tbone recommended Supercar Performance in Minooka, so I went and talked to Scott over there tonight. Going to schedule installation next week. I will let everyone know how it goes.

Only came out within the past few months they are supposed to give you a little extra HP compared to regular headers.

Once those are installed give Komet Motorsports in St. Charles a call for your Tune. They are having an open house this weekend.

Supercar Performance recommended Finish Line in Naperville because he deals with them a lot. My choice is Straightline because they do work for Bill Kay's where I bought my car. I don't know, have to mull this one over.

My understanding is the design has been around and in use for a long time. Kooks recently implemented the design. I'll let you know what my final numbers are. Installing just the Kooks and cats this round.
