Going full exhaust, down to 2 kits. Kooks or JPC

[5.0Trunk]

I have been happy with my FM Hushpower axlebacks, but now, I think I will be doing a full exhaust as my next mod. After searching the forums, and listening to the many sound files on YouTube, I think I have narrowed my search to 2 systems. Below are the 2 full kits, Kooks and JPC's custom exhaust. What do you guys/gals think about either of these kits? If you have any of these kits, let me know how you like them..

Thanks

Kooks

They sound pretty similar it's hard to say which sounds better they both sound awesome. Why did you rule out Stainless Works?

I like the Kooks, more than likely I'll be purchasing their catback tomorrow from Lethal. I also like the Stainless Works setup.

Here are my top three:

1. Kook's longtubes, o/r x, and catback
2. Stainless Works longtubes, o/r x, and catback
3. Kooks longtubes, o/r x, and bassani catback

My top 3:

1: Stainless works full exhaust o/r x
2: Mbrp Full exhaust with o/r hpipe
3: Kooks full exhaust

Mbrp full setup sounds like a terminator and i love that.

You will make more TQ with the JPC.
I think it depends on future goals for your car, Kooks is 3" and JPC is 2.75".
OP you have a Whipple right?

Yeah, the Kooks full exhaust does sound bad a$$... decisions....

 

[SILV03MustangGT]

i think the kooks sounded pretty good. but im partial to the Stainless works setup. the kooks was pretty damn loud though lol

That's just Kooks Catback O/R X? Stock headers?

Yes, I have a whipple, and I am pretty satisfied with the power that its at right now, so I don't know how much more I will do. I just want a Bad @ss sounding car

Beefcake, your car sounds awesome!

yes

 

[5.0Trunk]

yes

Sounds good! Was the install pretty strait forward? Not sure if a new tune would be required??

 

[burnin4]

I have AR LT's and couldn't be happier :rockon:

with a O/R pipe you will need a tune to keep the CEL from coming on.

 

[stang8psi]

a new tune would be required for either the off road pipe and the headers.

 

[Spd2Stang]

As a few have said, yes you would need a tune to take advantage of the o/r x and to turn off the rear o/2's for check engine light purposes.

I had the exhaust installed at my local shop for $200.

And you have them on a Boss. :burnout:

LT havent proven much, shorties on the other hand seem to do pretty well... get the shorties and use the rest of the cash on some other mods
