    WWWaahhhaaaaa :yahoo:

    This is my first major Mod, I've crossed into the dark side :starwars:

    Between finding an installer and the holidays I've been siting on this for far to long. So schedules collided and I final have the Kooks on my Jeep (It took them almost two full days)

    A few quick ?????

    Is there a learning curve for the PCM to adjust the the heads? If so how much time/miles are needed?

    Whats the code for the CEL that gets thrown because of the O2 sensor?

    About 35-100 miles and you will see the CEL come on. You have a 2008 so only B&G can turn it off at this time.

    Code is p430/p420......catalytic inefficiency.

    They dont work......you still get a CEL. I think your better of living with the CEL until Diablo comes out with an 08 Predator. Its around the corner....I volunteered them my 08 ECU a couple of weeks ago.

    Hey Jeep Trick, congrats on the header install, how does it sound compared to stock? Also, I noticed on your sig that you don't have an exhaust system, are you planning to upgrade in the future and if so which will you choose?

    Sounds GOOOOD!!!

    Ya I want to upgrade, but an in a quandary as to which one

    At the moment probably B&B, But I am not making that decision right now

    Don't want over the top, but want louder than stock

    Oh....you left the stock system on. The Mopar/Corsa flow about another 250cfm according to Corsa, the others cant flow any more or much less IMO. I bet it sounds pretty aggressive none the less.

    Yeah anything you upgrade to will defenitely be louder than stock! can't wait to get my headers on, I just bought a Stainless Works headers from GotStroke?(Andy) and just waiting to put then on. Its going to be paired up with the Zoomers exhaust!:tooth: Its going to be loud! I'm almost hesitant to put it on because the exhaust alone is loud already!

    Get with Andy (GotStroke?) and get the Stainless Steelworks exhaust system. With those headers and a better flowing exhaust you will be amazed at the difference, just running stock exhaust is probably robbing you of the full potential of those hedders

    Ya I'm likin the improvement, nailed it at 80 and it just ate up the road to 130 alot quicker

    True

    I wasn't planning to do Kooks first but I found a deal on them second hand and I hear everybody doing cat back then headers and deciding to buy another set of cat backs because the first are now to loud. Hopefully I'll get it to my taste with just one purchase

    I actually really like the way they sound now

    This mod only works on the 5.7 models and some LX guys seem to have luck with it. It will not work on the Jeep....I and a few others have a whole garage full of those things.
