Default hookers vs. kooks

buyin a set of 1-7/8 headers and its between the Hookers or Kooks. There both stainess, my delima is theres a $130 price difference between the 2. Is it worth the extra money to buy the Kooks or spend the money else where? I know the people with the Kooks are die-hards it seems but looking for more of a neutral opionion. To me id save the money but dont know if the Kooks have better flow design over the Hookers.

TSP's are not stainless and the ARH are too expensive. So personially these two headers are the two ill be buying.

I had a set of 1 7/8th primary kooks. They were very nice pieces. I bought them second hand off "slowz28" on here. He is from around the Chicago area, you might know him. Anyway, they were sound pieces. Zero experience with the hookers thus far, although I might be giving them a try with this current setup.

I personally would go with ARH, but from the two choices above, deffinantly go with the Kooks. The Kooks have a much nicer collector than the hookers.

I would rather have Kook's, thier food taste better and Hooker's are ugly and to expensive.


Oh dang, you are talking headers!

No **** huh? Just wanted to see if the Kooks were SOOOOOO MUCH BETTER!! Then i would spend the extra couple bucks but it doesnt seem so. And this day in age sometimes you dont ALWAYS get what you pay for..sometimes its just the name you pay for.

That may be true, but when purchasing a header look at the overal design. Look at the Hooker headers collector, and then look at the collector of a more premium header such as a Kooks or ARH. You can't argue that all collectors are the same.

kooks are very nice, and slid right in with no issues. very very nice, also, lower volume production. you can tell the difference in quality.
