Default NJ...who can make me custom headers???

im in need for custom headers for my lsx rx7. hinson offers headers but i dont think they make them in stainless steel. is there any reliable places in NJ/NY area that can fabricate custom stainless headers (mandrel bent) and also be able to test the flow?

Kooks is the way to go to get custom headers and pipe work done. it may cost you some $$$ but the product will be a work of art ..

Hey I spoke to Kooks today. They can do it for about $1500 mild and $2000 stainless. Big problem is they dont have openings until JUNE!!! Ouch I cant wait that long so I may have to settle with a local race shop.

for $2000, im expecting those headers to be flow tested and provide the best flow possible. not just fabricated and slap on the head.
