MBRP Car Back to Kooks Headers Mid pipe Question
Hi all,
I currently have Kooks headers with the catless connection pipes (deletes primary and secondary cats). The connection pipes are 3inch diameter. I am interested in the MBRP Cat Back race series exhaust. I was wondering if anyone has done this combination and if so how they were able to fit it. I called MBRP and they told me the part of the pipe in their catback that was meant to connect to the stock system was made to fit the stock section which measures 2 2\3 inch diameter pipe. They are not sure if it would work without significant modification. Any advise or experience would be greatly appreciated. |

You may need to cut the 2 3/4" MBRP section and have someone weld the Kooks connection pipe to the MBRP. It's not going to be a straight forward bolt on installation. I can tell you it's going to be stupid loud, as in too loud. You're basically running straight pipes from the motor to the exhaust tips.

What about the Hokker short tube headers with no secondaries?

I know others who have done it as well. Your kooks connection pipes taper down to fit the stock exhaust. Which is just under 3 inches as well https://www.camaro6.com/forums/showthread.php?t=527290 Thread a made after the install Odd after all this time they still don’t know this information. Wonder how many sales they have lost not telling people this. |

I just don't like the 409 S.S. Had 409 S.S. muffler before & within a month it had rust on it. I prefer all my exhaust system to be made of 304 S.S.

UltraZLS1, did your MBRP exhaust come with the tailpipes and tips coated black?
