Default Kooks 1 7/8 Headers and "offroad" X pipe install!

So after reading post after post about which headers to use, I decided to go with Kooks. The headers were so nice looking that I hung them on the wall and had to think twice about using them for art or in my car lol. The install was a bit challenging, but not as bad as everyone made it seem. The fitment was excellent and they sound awesome! Have a look!

Looks good. My kook's still look good after 5 years, great header. My only regret is not getting the 1 7/8 primary tubes... Next time. Have any pics from the bottom with the X pipe?

Good choice on the headers. I have the kooks 1-7/8 and it's one of the best decision I made for my car.

EGT probe, so you can measure your exhaust gas temp.

Nice looking X-merge!

It's nice to see a well made X-pipe, don't see those very often.

Most of the X-pipes I see just slam exhaust gases straight into each other.

I was very impressed with the quality of the entire kit. I thought about getting out the polishing wheel and making it shine, but who ever see looks under the car unless its up on blocks??
