I have the Kooks on my 02 Z06. Awesome headers, best for the money IMO, I did a lot of research.

Kinda hard to install though

I think that's fair.

$1200 for Kooks, $400 for install, $250 for tune

Pretty standard to me. I would do it...

This might help. 4 years ago the previous owner of my 02 Z06 paid 1849.00 for Kooks and X pipe installed with cats. They still look like new and it sounds great.
