Okay, I used the search and didn't turn up anything I was looking for and I don't think this one belongs in the sticky seeing as this isn't really a general question, but if so just let me know and I can post it there instead...

I bought a pair of 1 7/8 QTP headers a couple years ago and haven't gotten around to installing them yet because the whole car has been on hold. I'm wanting to know if there's a particular reason the Kooks TD setup is advertised as being required to be mated to kooks headers. Is there a way they can be made to fit (within a reasonable amount of effort) with a different set of headers?

I really don't want to take the loss on these headers because even though I got them for cheap, I know I won't make my money back if I sell them and I really don't want to pay a grand for a set of headers if I really don't need them.

most headers are the same or very close to the same design. with that said the exhaust MAY fit but it will most likely need to be tweaked a bit.. nothing an exhaust shop couldnt handle in a few minutes though

I made the exhaust fit TSP 1 7/8 headers. Just had to cut maybe 1 1/2 to 2 inches off of the collectors. Decided to cut the headers and not hack up the exhaust. I just couldn't do it to a $1600 exhaust lol

There is no standard collector angle or position shared by the various header manufacturers; some headers will be easier to adapt to a specific exhaust system than others, but it can almost always be done by someone with the proper skills.
