What are better headers, B&B or Kooks? Please explain and tell me why? Also can I get a loud and aggressive sound with using the B&B fusions? I like to have the option of opening and closing them.

As far as the headers go.....probably all of them are pretty close. You have to pick out one that you like. Me......I want them coated, inside and out, even though I'm not S/C'd..I still want them coated and I can buy them without paying extra, so that's the way I like it. You have to make the same similar picks.
I have a friend that has BB's and you are right....they are loud.

They'll all pretty much do the same thing and sound the same.

Yep, most headers will sound and perform roughly the same. The main things to look at are the flanges, welds, bends, collectors and quality of steel.

Please feel free to call, PM or email me anytime with questions or pricing.

Best regards,

I have B&B and am happy with the fit and after 5 years, they still look new.
