They are nice man. They showed up lightning quick too. The end of the flange had poked through the box but no damage.

I'm having them coated with Cerakote Turbine 2000 Ceramic Coating before I put them on.

I have read how difficult the 1-7/8 Kooks are to install, are these worse or are the bends a bit different to ease installation?

They look great by the way. Post some photos of the coated version when you get them back

Recently read here on the forum that kooks had redesigned there headers for easier install. Don't remember if it was just the 1 7/8 or included the 2"

They have redesigned the C5 headers and the fitment issues should be gone completely.
