Pontiac G8 GT - Solo Performance Exhaust with Hi-flowing Cats and Kooks Headers

[GHO5T62]

Sick! thank you for posting the video. I have same set up without headers but that is what I wanna do. What size kooks headers did you go with?

[majesticix]

@GHO5T62 1-7/8"

[GHO5T62]

@majesticix Would you rec the 1 7/8 or 1 3/4? I heard with under 500 if you run the 1 7/8 you might actually lose power with no back pressure.

[majesticix]

@GHO5T62 You lose a bit of low-end torque with 1 7/8 vs the 1 3/4. If you ever plan to go with forced induction, 1 7/8 is the way to go. The more mods you make, the better off you are with the larger primaries. I'd suggest 1-7/8. The loss difference for cars with minimal mods isn't a deal breaker, and chances are if you're replacing headers, you'll be doing something else next year. Vroooom!

how does this car have kooks long tube headers and solo high flow cats? are you sure that they arent kooks shorty headers?

[majesticix]

@miller09g8gt Nope, they are long tubes. Solo makes a connection pipe specifically for Kooks LTHs. Just give Steve a call @ Solo and he can hook you up.

[miller09g8gt]

@majesticix oh nice! how much are they?

[majesticix]

@miller09g8gt Not sure off hand, you'd have to check with Solo. You can find Steve's info at G8board.com. They are superb to deal with.

@majesticix alright man thanks alot!

What kind of wheels are on John's car? I love those wheels.

[majesticix]

@2009G8Gxp Actually those are his 17" winter rims...no idea the brand. I think he currently is running with the Camaro rims, but he changes his wheels more often than I change my oil so who knows :P

1:30 that sound is S.I.C.K!!!!!!!!

By far the best sounding G8 I've heard, ever!

[majesticix]

chalk up that sound to the headers and cats. The V2 catback alone sounds NOTHING like this. I've heard it in person, it is very quiet and tasteful. Complete opposite of this. I'll take this setup any day of the week.

[jxa4508]

It's because CntryClub has headers.

[wolfwood390]

WOW thats loud! I thought the V2 was the quietest solo setup no?
