Help with Kooks Headers!
I just got brand new Kooks 1 7/8 Race Headers with the 3" x pipe for xmas and I opened them today and they did not come with the header installation kit (the gaskets & bolts). I called Kooks but they don't open back up until January 2nd and I have an appt the morning of the 2nd to get them installed so I am wondering do the headers usually come the kit or do I have to buy it?

I agree with you. The setup was roughly $1400 with shipping. If anyone has a kit or knows exactly how many bolts and gaskets I will need please let me know. I hate to think I am going to have to postpone an appt I have had for over a month because of not having the hardware!

Hey Steve. I am assuming you mean did I ask the shop could they order the installation kit? They are closed until the 2nd and reopen that morning so I was trying to see what I could do to possibly get the kit before I am suppose to go.

I understand, typically shops will take care of parts ordered in-house, I've run into a few problems in a similar situation

email me your info I will go to the office first thing wednesday. I will grab a kit and mail it to you so you have it in time. Sorry for the mix up. Did you order them direct from us or from a vendor?

Your kidding right???
EVERYONE has quality control issues every once in a while.. Hell, you bought a car that has more quality control problems than anyone can count. I dont see you going out and selling it for a Honda..
I'll tell you what.. Next time go and spend 500 bucks MORE for a set of LG's. This way you will be able to have your 10 dollars worth of bolts, and 2 paper gaskets.

I have a few friends with Kooks Headers on their vettes that have a few years of use and have never had any problems. They even still look perfect. That's why I chose Kooks. I had no idea at the time their customer service was such top notch. So now you guys know that they will come through when you need them!

Update: I got the package Friday morning. That is above and beyond customer service if you ask me. I appreciate the hat and shirt too! I'm installing them with a head/cam and nitrous install so I better get more than 40HP!
