Summit Racing cat-back vs Kolak cat-back exhaust? - Page 2

**JrMechanic** · 11-10-2009, 08:52 AM

Let's not turn this into a Kolak bashing thread. He's a very reputable vendor on these boards, and I'll speak personally on behalf of his customer service, it's awesome! While that cheap cat back would work fine, and probably last for awhile, the fit, finish, and sound you would get from Kolak's exhaust would be a night and day difference, not to mention the customer service and warranty you get through him. Also, he can't do anything about back ordered parts, other than be the first one in line to get them when his vendors do.

Bottom line, Kolak has great customer service, excellent products, and would have a VERY good explanation to keep you waiting on parts.

x2 Kolak rocks ive orderd more parts through him than i have bought at online stores.

He doesn't Store the parts in his house lol. which mean he doesn't have to pay to store it ='s cheaper stuff it all gets drop shipped from the manufacture

has to be good if he is mentioned on WJJEEPS.com which im sure gets thousands of hits a day

Thanks - I'm still up working since Monday morning believe it or not. Was just about to get some sleep. But what I did is to message my sales rep to see if I can ship that customer's FIPK directly from K&N rather than waiting for their stock. That will result in a drop-ship fee but I will take care of that.

Again, I try my best and work extremely long hours but many orders are extremely complex to assemble. The person from Taiwan who posted in this thread ordered custom emblems that took me forever to research for instance. And they are on their way to him as we speak!

By the way, and since this thread is about exhausts -

Would you all like a Christmas special on my Kolak Exhausts? I normally give JeepForum members 10% off, but I've been wondering what to put on sale for Christmas - maybe it would be a good present to give yourselves?

Do it up! The 5.9 needs to breathe!

I'd rather he did a deal on the MX6 shocks. I still wanna lift my Jeep. But I suppose more people might benefit from the special on exhausts.

I would definitely be ordering one!

Kolak, I didn't see it anywhere in this thread, but what exactly is the price on your ZJ Exhaust system? I know you offer a choice of mufflers, but I've been a member of JF for a while and haven't really seen a figure. BTW I like it loud. I want one of those sounds that makes the hair on your arm stand up. Got anything like that?

better start bending now

Travis873o · 11-10-2009, 01:44 PM

would 3in still be the optimum size piping for a 408 stroker? (if i do a 360 swap, that's what i would put in it.

**Kolak** · 11-10-2009, 04:50 PM

3" is the best you can do - there's no room for anything larger, nor is there room for a true dual exhaust.

The base exhaust consists of my Kolak Performance 3" mandrel bent tailpipe, Magnaflow high flow converter, and various muffler choices.

Price ranges from $296.00 to $341.00 depending on muffler choice. That's after your 10% discount.

If I do the Xmas special, the discount will be even better of course. But in order to justify it, I'd have to do some volume.
