Default Stainless Works vs kooks

I want to put long tubes on my car and have narrowed it down between the two brands i have had kooks and liked them but also have an oportunity to get stainless works for cheaper How do do the stainless tuck under a lowered car/ hows there fit / power gains over kooks i would assume they are almost neck and neck just dont know why not as many people run them Thanks pics would be great.

Kooks are the best hands down!!

There worth the extra money. More $$ = better fit and quality

Look into LPP. Cheaper than kooks, all stainless, on par in quality with ARH.

ARH clear the best out of all the ones ive seen installed. Their y-pipe is tucked up much higher and ive heard they are just as good as kooks hp and quality wise. ive had mine for a year and they still look great haven't scraped them on very many speed bumps, plus the flanges and welds are top notch and they dont hit anything under the car like many others ive seen.

and tiresmoke LPP's dont compare to the ARH's ive seen them side by side fit and finish is tons better on the ARH's plus the ARH's have high velocity collectors

I have Kooks and they're an excellent product. Fit and finish was awesome. I also have a good friend running the SW on his 01 C5. They're both excellent products in my opinion...

I've got Kooks! The collectors are awesome, but I'm sure stainless works is right on par with them.

Mine went in NP!

I had them side by side in my shop when my LPPs first came in, and to be perfectly honest I couldnt find anything that stood out on the ARH over the LPP. The LPP are top notch in my opinion, all the merges and welds are perfect, and they do use high velocity collectors as well. To each their own I suppose...
