Kooks worth the money? I was orginaly going to buy the kooks set up but the more I think about it I can use the extra money on something else if I go with another brand. Pacesetters would be my seconed choice but who makes there catted y pipe? However I dont like buying cheaper stuff but is it worth spending all the money for kooks. I have heard that coated headers tend to peal and over time look bad. Appreciate the feedback.

There are no QC problems.
One person -- ONE ******* PERSON -- is raising all kinds of hell because of a customer service problem (sounds like he had trouble communicating to me). He lives in Hawaii and got sent one header with emissions. He's having a time getting it sent back and replaced on their buck. He wants to bring everyone down for it and users on this board like Order 66 are letting him slander two SPONSOR companies with great reps and get away with it.
Kook's reputation is spotless. They, along with QTP, make the best headers and have the best service. Don't listen to one person while toning out the thousands. That's just stupid.
Go with whichever is cheaper, Kooks or QTPs. I just bought a set of used QTPs off this board.

I've read hundreds of posts in which everyone was very pleased with QTP or Kooks headers.
My Kooks headers and catted y-pipe should arrive next week. I think I got a pretty good deal, $1,188, no tax, free shipping. I'll let everyone know how it works out when I find the time to install them. I don't anticipate any problems.

i got my kooks and catted y last march and the only problem i had was the passenger side header was not reduced so it would not slip over the y-pipe, just had to drop by the local muffler shop and they did it for me in less than a minute.
tucks up nicely, which was a main concern bc my car is lowered, but i might have only hit the cats once.
