Well I think I’m going to pull the trigger on a set of Kooks 1 7/8" long tubes. The whole thing is I already have a cat back and the headers wont bolt right up to it. So I think what I’m going to have to do is buy a set of cats and find a place to get me from the Header to the cat back… I’m kinda picky when It comes to people work on my car. Anyone know someone who can do this that will basically do it as perfect as possible? ---

Krazykid has made about 90 different exhaust setups for my car, all with excellent results. PM him, if he’s down I’d have him do it, the man knows what’s up when it comes to this SHIT. ---

why dont you just find a long tube that works with your exhaust? Even if its a cheaper brand, its still a long tube. They all do the same thing. ---

Long tubes will all have similar gains, don’t listen to people and their chicken shit bullshit. I have the cheapest headers on earf’ and they work absolutely perfect. Kooks just cost more, they don’t make more power. ---

kooks headers are more money cause there worth it . cheap headers do work but have there faults as far as fitment and lifespan . i have cheapos on my cAR and they work but i wish i got better for the fitment end of things . kooks are great the fitment is great and they last . when it comes to parts ya get the best ya can afford ---

I’m not putting any cheap headers on my car anyways lol I hear from everyone that its kooks or nothing… Heard of some people leaving say SLP or JBA to get Kooks but never heard someone say there getting rid of their Kooks to buy another kind. ---
