Heat

[Yamaha]

Add a section between the over axle pipe and tips. here is my install. enjoy. I wrapped the tranny coolant lines and shifter cable with some thermotec heat shielding I had lying around. I didn't ceramic coat (should have) (maybe later) I flanged the muffler inlet pipe to better able remove the center section. I did not extend the tail pipes. The x-pipe bracing was welded on prior to install. just in case..

Oh yeah..and all those 02 sensor lines need checkin.

JOb is done! sounds sweet. no leaks. gonna runn it a while see if anything sounds or feels weird. I haven't hit highway wfo speeds yet.

Looks Great ! Thanks, for posting the pics. I'm on the verge of doing the Kook's (coated). How's the sound ? Any increase in highway drone ? Stan 732-422-5703

There is a drone at certain low throttle points. I don't drive long distances with family in the car ( the wife would prolly complain).
Rick-n-Miami dynomatted parts of his MM (possibly the trunk). That should help. If you can get the ceramic coating...might as well...it looks killer under the hood, as well as cooling abilities.
also, if you can check all areas where the heat may affect other parts the headers come near, consider protecting those areas with heat shielding...I picked up a starter heat shield just in case i want to wrap the starter ....

good luck...the Kooks exhaust works ... I think it was def worth it.
