TTS vs Kooks I have narrowed it down to TTS and Kooks for headers. The price is about the same for either so now I need to know am I giving up anything design wise be going with one over the other. I understand that there will be all kinds of bad experiences with either company but I am looking for why one would work better than the other. My car is a 2001 TA WS6 6M. Ok, let the opinions fly.

I would say QTP headers. Kooks and QTP are almost the same header (old Grott design), but QTP makes a much much better Y pipe in my opinion.
As for TTS, I haven't really heard any complaints about them.
BTW I went with the QTP setup because of their Y pipe

Kooks has a great ory. It only took me 45 minutes to get the y bolted up in place. Kooks also ovals out the drivers side to get better ground clearance and also so that it dosent tap the floorboard like many other brands do.
did you see the post in the Internal Engine forum about the Cartek H/C that made 500 rwhp?? The guy runs Kooks Headers with the Kooks y-pipe if i am not mistaken, so I think it works just fine 
BTW, if i had the extra cash to drop down on these they would be my first choice.

Thats exactly what I am not a fan of!!! Why compromise performance for such minimal ground clearance. I have yet to have a problem with the clearance on my QTP Y pipe.

They rusted badly? The stainless kooks will last 100 times longer.
