If you need all four, then the LG's are out. Check out the three above. Kooks are harder to install and have an aluminized steel center section. Stainless Works are all stainless and are easier to install. QTP are also all stainless, very easy to install but are priced a few hundred higher although there is a special deal on them right now from QTP.
I didn't know the Kooks were not all stainless. Why is this. They are considered a top of the line LT aren't they??

[QUOTE]Kooks are harder to install and have an aluminized steel center section.[QUOTE]

What exactly do you mean by 'aluminized steel center section'?
Why would they do that?
And to those that have headers are there any issues with the header bolts coming loose after time.

Rob, The header flanges don't come loose. The material we use for our X-pipe sections is aluminized steel. The reason, because it's the exact same material used by GM for the factory system. It's strong, flexible and should give many years of trouble free use. Nick "Kook's Headers"
