The wait was worth it!
The sound the performance and overall component quality were just as advertised by Kooks and supported by the opinions of many on this site.
Thanks to all who helped me decide.

Just make sure the tips are back far enough from the rear bumper...or you'll get the "drone" in the cabin if you're running the full Kooks back system with Magnaflows.
My mechanic had to cut off about 1/4 inch from the back of the X-Pipe to make it fit but we didn't know about the problem with the tips.
It'll be remedied Friday.
The first thing I noticed on the Kooks system was that it really opens up the top end, no more losing torque about 5000....it really pulls all the way to redline.
Gotta get in a 1/4 or two before the Trilogy goes on in early September.
Glad you're happy with it...as I am :D

Thanks for the additional info on the tips...it definitely has more cabin noise now. Planning to redo the tips within the next couple of weeks anyway. Not sure how or just what but I will definitely have them moved back.

Dynamat the entire interior floor, and the trunk to interior barrier as well. Then Dynamat all four doors and you'll be as quiet as a high end luxury car inside...
Been there, done that.

Don't you have to pull all the insides out to install this stuff?

Yep. A day project in the garage. No biggie.
