I have been tossing the idea around of tackling a longtube install for a while... I was interested in Kooks but can't seem to come across any of their 1-5/8 lt's on sale in the market...
Well I refuse to spend $1,400 for them new (with Catted-X) .. so I have been looking into Mac's
So I have a few questions about Mac's...
1) Do Mac LT's sit higher up than Kooks? I seen somewhere on here that someone stated Kooks hang lower to the ground than Mac's, and that Mac's weren't as annoying when it comes to uneven roads and speedbumps
2) Lethal has two versions of the Mac's, Chrome Coated and Ceramic Coated. I am not that concerned with color fading as they are not even that visable, but I do want them to last. Are Ceramic's the better choice?
3) Can the transmission be removed with Mac LT's installed? I have read that one side has to be loosened for the tranny to slide out..
4) I will be tackling the install mostly myself (with extra hands at times).. and would like to take the extra time to remove the K-member. Is there a write up anywhere on a K-member uninstall. I want to make sure the headers go on right, and with less :bash:
All help/advice is greatly appreciated!
