Kooks is killing me. Ordered 1 7/8" with catted connectors last week or a little before in hopes to have them in a week or so. I then heard rumors on here that there was a 2-3 week delay. So i got with the vendor and he spoke with Kooks finally today and got a message saying prroduction is 3-4 weeks out still. I ordered my cam and parts two days ago to be installed and tuned May 10th. So if they are 3 weeks out that pushes me past that, 4 weeks pushes me past Hot Rod weekend which I go to every year and I had planned to have it cammed and long tubed before it for a reason. Now this happens. $1200 bucks later and now this happens. I just dont understand.

Some vendors stock these and don't go directly through Kooks to drop ship them... In your case, it would have been worth the money to find a BETTER vendor who did have them in stock! Good luck!!

3-4 week delay for headers? It doesn't take that long to build the shell of a mid-sized aircraft. WTF?! Probably buying minor defected headers. Could probably take that long for headers to fail a quality checkpoint and still be repaired or accepted to use as is.

If it takes exactly 3 weeks i can squeeze it and get it cammed before i go, if not ill never buy a kooks product again. Your right its a good deal and if i wasnt tight on money with the impending cam swap id cancel the order and find them in stock but id have to pay 200-300 more for the same order.

Damn, and to think, I have a freshly coated polished ceramic set of the catted 1 7/8" sitting in my garage that I probably won't get around to installing for another month lol... too bad you're not closer to dfw tx.

I was in the same situation a few months back...Most vendors were telling me 3-4 weeks. I bought from Pascal Performance...the owner claimed he was tight with Kooks personally. I received my Kooks 3 days later straight from the factory.
Also mine are catless but I paid $975 delivered.

Wow are you kidding me??? I ordered from juiced, he said 2-3 weeks from jump street... two weeks is passed, what is the hold up? The connectors or the headers? I'm not waiting another 3-4 on top of my regular 2-3!

Hold up is the actual headers, the connectors were in production today. Yes I was told the same from Kooks when I called that since it was Clifford they were pushing them up to next week, so dont call Kooks and complain jersey haha at least not until i get mine.
