All I can tell is that you are going to love them! I have had mine on for several months now with zero problems. Nothing but miles of smiles.

here's the 1 7/8" kooks i installed on an 02 z06, nothing beats the look of raw stainless; not a drop-in install, but worth the effort and the best quality welds i've seen to date

I noticed Kooks has a 1 7/8" heeaders as well. What's the difference? I'm waiting to get mine installed on the Z at ZIPs. Also will incclude the X pipe. Running Borla Stingers should make it real loud.

big pipes for FI, more ci's, mti claims bigger hp gains w/ the 7.8 pipes, never seen side by side gains on a stock 346

Since I have no plans to do any major work to the engine (heads, cam , etc.), the 1 7/8" were an overkill. So, I went w/ the 1 3/4" tubes.

You will be very please with your Kooks!

Thanks everyone for the responses. One more HAPPY Kooks customer!
