Which kooks set are you looking at? Green cat set?

Holy shit where r u buying Kooks headers at? I bought mine for $1200 but that was with Hi flo cats... I'm sure if you look around a bit more, you can get a better deal. Also if you have patiences you can maybe come around a used set for $600-800 bucks.

im from middle east bro
prices of parts r expensive here

my question the kooks r very diffrent from bbk? because the price is too high for kooks

Kooks in my personal opinion is the best but some people will say otherwise but BBK isn't a bad brand either, if you have the cash get the kooks but if on a budget then consider BBK or Stainless Works

BBK only come in 1-3/4" don't they? You'll want at least 1-7/8" primaries.

yup i saw it bbk with 1-3/4 but kooks with 1-7/8

is that a really big difference???

2010reddevil · 09-10-2015, 04:37 AM

Yeah about 15-20hp. These engines like to breathe. Even 2" primaries make even more power than the 1-7/8". I would not put anything smaller than the 1-7/8" unless you have no choice.

BradySS · 09-10-2015, 04:40 AM

Yes it's a big difference. Don't get the 1 3/4" headers. The 1 7/8" gets you more HP and torque even on a stock application.

Do not get 1-3/4" headers. Just say no.
