KOOKs, I have em, they kick ***. PPC and QTP are also quality products, but I went with the Kooks.

We will give the best deal to ls1tech.com members on the Kooks. Throw me an email and I'll provide some pricing. We will beat any competitor's pricing on Kooks by at least 2%.

We do not offer the coated style, they are not worth it and we only sell what makes the most power and is the best option. The stainless steel is the way to go!

Rusty headers are due to inferior coating .... not what PPC uses for production.
