There's no need to devolve this thread any further.

The OP has accepted that he will not be purchasing the headers, and has confirmed that he has received the information he was looking for.

Any further negative / offensive discussion such as the example posted above is counter-productive to the thread and forum in general.

One issue is most people have never held different sets of headers in their hands to actually make an informed decision. They see shiny headers on some ebay page and are like "Those are pretty and half the price". Yet if you look at them in person next to a set of Kooks, you can tell one is hand crafted by highly skilled person. The other looks like it was made between batches of Walmart lawn furniture by a 12 year old working in a cave.

Because of this, we actually have set of overseas headers we display next to the real thing at shows. Sells a lot of product for us

Awesome reply!!!! I love the Kooks headers you sold me btw... They fit perfectly, make great power, and sound amazing. Well worth the extra money over the cheaper headers in my opinion.

I've seen this approach at SEMA - it's quite effective, especially for Missourians that are into the 'Show-Me' mentality.

Fun to sit back and listen to comments from people when they think nobody is listening, as well.
