OK...BillyGMan, I give up...I bought the wrong exhaust system and wasted my money on installation and felt little performance and sound difference. I am going KOOKS...

A vendor just quoted me $1000 for a KOOKS system without mufflers (these are not ceramic coated) and $1400 installed... Will this exhaust increase my low end torque and acceleration (0-30 mph)? I know the sound is SWEET.

The installation includes removal of my non-stock exhaust system. I won't be able to buy the KOOKs system until I sell my current exhaust (I think I paid $1000 about six months ago)...the exhaust has never seen salt or rain and has less than 2000 miles on it. I would accept significantly less than what I paid for the current aftermarket exhaust system I have in my MM.

Anyone want to make me an offer on my slightly used (what would you call it?...shortie manifolds...Cobra...OK...it is the Reinhart) exhaust?

As this thread is going no-where and has the potential of getting out of hand, It is now closed. A question was asked, the vendor replied. I would suggest that in the future if anyone has "problems"(?) with mods they bought and its performance, please contact the vendor directly. Our vendors go out of thier way to be helpful to us and flaming of ANY vendor on the site will not be tolerated.

If one has questions about performance, a valid question on a thread is warranted, but keep the question in generalities only, leave the vendor out of it until you have AT LEAST contacted the vendor for help. No one likes to be blindsided vendor OR member.

What Merc Said. Apparently I need to start deleting account's again. Y'all are getting entirely too comfortable.
