Default Kooks 1 3/4" Headers Installed...WOW!

Hey,


Just wanted to thank everyone for their opinions over the past few days I had on headers.

I pulled the trigger on a set of catted kooks 1 3/4" longtube headers and love it. In terms of sound the pitch of the car is higher at the higher RPMS. All I need now is a tune, but in all honesty I wasn't expecting to feel the difference.

Thanks again to everyone, your opinions do matter.

Thanks again

Zeus

Love my Kook's 1 3/4's. The bolt-on collector at the x-pipe.I like better than the slip joint. They work great, remember to retorque your bolts in a few days.

Good to hear, we are selling Kooks headers like hotcakes, especially their stepped headers. We really feel they have a superior product and a superior price.
