    Kooks headers, X-pipe, Reinhart ...

    Many thanks to Dennis at Reinhart Performance for his recommendations and excellent service. Shortly after acquiring my Marauder this June, I visited Dennis at his shop in Orange Park, FL. He dropped what he was doing to share some time with me discussing best mods for the type of driving I do - mostly interstate from North Florida down to Miami or west to Tampa on a regular basis.

    I just picked up my Marauder yesterday after Dennis installed a set of Kooks long-tube headers, X-pipe with hi-flow cats, bolt-on to stock mufflers and a Pro Guard skid plate. Amazingly, he turned it around in one-day.

    The Marauder feels liberated with no drone at higher speeds. Only under heavy acceleration can you hear the exhaust erupt. Dennis advised early on I'd really enjoy this setup and he is right!!!

    P.S. Pics to follow!!

    Warmest Regards!

    Thumbs up Stock Mufflers

    The stock MM mufflers are very good - even through most people will not agree. You might lose 2 HP per side at most. The X-pipe with high flow CATS is the key along with the LTs. DR knows his stuff.

    I have some pictures he had a trailer hitch, and we were still able to trim around it and it came out very good. Sorry about the picture quality came from my phone
