I like Steeda products a lot and appreciate their participation to the forums. Wouldn't mind at all doing something with them - especially where the community can benefit. However, in this case, we have already invested in the Track Key programming. Until SCT figures something out, I'm pretty certain that a custom tune will wipe out (at best) or not work at all with the dual path programming that is in place.

I think a simple solution then would be to send me the full Kooks set up and Gus sends me the Intake set up. I'm willing to sacrafice the time and money to install and have it dynoed.
I await your PMs. LOL.

Hey guys,
I'm venturing over from the 5.0 sub-forum...
Any idea if this kooks hpipe (with or without cats) will fit on a 2011 5.0? Looking to do cut outs and this kook's hpipe would make it really easy.
I have the stock exhaust manifold...but may switch to LT headers later on down the road.

The Kooks Boss h-pipe is made to connect to there long tube headers. I'm not aware of any adapters to connect it to the stock exhaust headers.

This thread here has the info for anyone interested: https://themustangsource.com/f813/st...elease-503239/
I am not surprised the Boss seems to respond so well to long tubes. With the improved exhaust cam, larger exhaust valves, and all the other minor changes I came to believe that made this engine an ideal candidate for long tubes. But I didn't have any data to support that.
Unfortunately we haven't done a set of those on a Boss yet ourselves, but we are really looking forward to doing one, especially combined with our cold air and tuning, which I believe would benefit long tubes even further.

That's a very interesting comment, and makes the Kook's full exhaust system all that more attractive, because I love the sound of a really great exhaust system! ...... However, I also like taking to Boss to work as a daily driver in the summer, and that's in busy 4 lane downtown traffic. Not everybody is going to appreciate the racket like I do. So there's the conundrum!

What at we looking at for the full System with side pipes and Cats? Need to factor in additional cost to ship to Canada but I think I'm sold on the exhaust as first out of storage mod. Hood will have to wait.

Did we ever get dyno results comparing the offroad pipe to the catted pipe?
Also, any idea if the catted one will pass an emissions test? A lot of people don't really care whether or not it is CARB certified, but still need to be able to pass a sniffer test every year or two.

I forgot to ask you if your car has set a check engine light with the CAT'S from KOOK'S ?
I did try saying that five times
Did you also resolve the check engine light on your friends car that had the race pipe W/O the cat's ?
Inquiring minds want to know.
Adios,
Rob

My car WITH the CATs is still throwing the light. I just spoke to Kook's today and they are investigating. It shouldn't be doing that according to them. (Note, my car throws a CEL for BOTH banks so it's not like I have one bad cat or something.) I'm hoping that they will be able to resolve.

This is correct, aftermarket high flow cats on any 2011+ car will set off the check engine light unless physical or calibration measures are taken to prevent it.
