Anyone got picture of Kooks headers installed? I've been thinking about getting some Kooks LT's for my car and I heard they switched to a new style merge collector and I can't find good pics of it. Anyone got pics of Kooks installed? Or before the install for that matter.

I've got mine still sitting in the box, only had them for a month now
I polished them up and put them back in the box. I'll get a picture of them and post it up

Sweet! Can't wait to see what they look like. I can't wait to put some headers on my car. The stock setup is just way to quiet. Need headers and exhaust for safety reasons

Anyone got pictures on these yet? Just want to see a good set of photos, or any photos other than the stock ones on their site, of the product before I drop $800+ on them. I know it's a good product and I've heard nothing but good things, but I'm still wanting to get a good look.

Wow thanks for the pictures! Those both look really nice and damn if they don't hold up well. Definitely glad to see them. BTW the pacesetters look to have held up better that I thought they would have.

I purchased these in 2008, It doesn't have the high velocity merge.
Before motor went in
Right now almost 2 years later they look the same, I have no complaints with the quality of the headers and love how there holding up.

See the link below for a picture of what I am talking about. They were still in the engine bay and I pulled them out a couple days after the fire and then they were on my CETA for three years. I just cleaned them up with a water hose and put'em on

Wow that is an understatement. You should sell them back to pacesetter with photos of all they've been through. Tell them what great advertising it would be. Sucks to see such a nice car burned to nothing, glad you were able to at least get something out of the wreck.

kooks are great headers. I bought a set used several years ago. They were already 3 years old at that time.
right now I've put around 50K on the headers, I drive them in snow and rain and all and they still look the same as they did when I bought them. Actually you know they are old when they have the old Kooks logo on them.

The "newer" collectors and spike don't look any different. I know they made some changes recently, but I never thought anything was wrong with them. Great headers.
