Kooks Headers Vs SLP Headers?
Okay im on the verge of buying some headers real soon like tomorrow soon and would like to know which one of these two headers would be the ideal choice to go with and why? If i get the TSP (not SLP I had to correct) it will be new and online, but if i get the Kooks it will be used from a member on here im planning on buying it from and leave close to me for a real good price. Thanks for the help in advance

+1 for kooks! Assuming they are in great shape. Proof is in the results. Hundreds of cars here run them, and not too many slp

I bought my KOOKS used. Had them ceramic coated for $200 and they were perfect. I would go with the KOOKS since they'll probably be cheaper.
BTW: nothing wrong with 1 3/4" but I'm pretty sure SLP only sells 1 3/4". I'm guessing the used KOOKS are 1 7/8" since 95% of people buy them in that size.

SLP does not make 2" headers, they only sell 1 3/4"
In terms of comparing Kooks, and SLP, SLP is more mid range, and Kooks is top of the line. Here are some differences-

That is a link to Texas Speed, not SLP. Texas Speed sells 2" headers, which are their own house brand not SLP.
Unless this is some monster I would run 1 7/8" best compromise for cars to give low and TQ and high end HP. |

I have SLP and love them. They are holding up great. My brother has Kooks on his 2011 Camaro and they rattle and look like sh*t already. He just ordered SLP headers and can't wait to get the Kooks off. He called Kooks direct and all they told him is sometimes you get bad ones. I wouldn't but anything from these a$$holes..

I remember reading here on Camaro5 that essentially all 1 7/8" headers perform the same (within the last couple of weeks no less). After that it's just who wants to spend more for the show aspect. If you're like me and never pop the hood unless you're changing the oil, you're just as well off with a set of Stainless Works or Stainless Power headers for almost half the price of Kooks...
