Kook's Headers, Advice Needed Whats up everyone? TTP's having a sale on Kook's headers for $700. It's just the headers and collectors, the y-pipe is sold separately. I've got a few questions...
1) Is this a good sale price for Kook's? I don't want to buy them if I can get them for cheaper.
2) They're uncoated. Living in NJ, would this pose a problem?
3) Can I just use my factory y-pipe for now, or is it necessary to get the Kook's y?
Thanks for any responses in advance

1) yes thats a good price, sales and GP are the best bet to get the best price on things. you wont find kooks cheap new at least
2) the headers are stainless steel, you should have no problems
3) no you can you use your stock Y. you'll need the kooks or another one with some modifications, or a custom one.

Kooks here I comeJrp I'm a little confused, you said that I can use my stock y, but then you said I'd need either the kooks y or a custom one. Does this mean I can make a custom one out of my stock? Sorry for my confusion and thanks for your help!

I think he just had a typo, you will have to get another ypipe, I have the Kooks headers and Ypipe and they look amazing, I definatly recommend them. I used to have Hooker headers, they are good also.

Those are a thing of beauty... I love mine..
If you go stainless you don't coat them. Just go with the Kooks Y-pipe too, Its not worth tryong to piece meal things, I hear QTP's Y-pipe is a really good fit on Kooks headers too. good luck

Lawman: I didn't know the y-pipe was alumnized, I'm going to have to check that out...by the way, nice numbers on your SS

If you discover a stainless variant of the Kooks ORY, let me know!
