I'm taking my kooks 3/4 off in favor of tsps 7/8. They are by far the best deal out there.

Flip a coin.. They're pretty similar designs and both top of the line. Been seeing a lot of high hp builds with ARH lately too.

Yep, however, they don't currently exist.

Got a stupid question...Can you leave the wideband o2 plugged in permanently and then run the wire up into the cabin to be plugged into a computer? Or would leaving the wideband plugged in all the time make it go bad faster? Not sure how these things work.

Thumbs down

Except Kooks' Y-Pipe slapdash "merge" if you can call it that -- when are they going to live up to their reputation with a real Y merge?

Not impressed. I have also been told, but yet to validate that ARH headers pipe wall thickness is greater, reducing unwanted under hood sound.

Kooks does have a minimum advertised price policy however..so what you see on the website is the lowest we can put in "writing". If you call us however, we can offer pricing I am confident is the best out there along with free shipping! Our number is 443-730.9428!

Just had ARH 1 3/4 installed with their ORY.. Got them off the parts classifieds from another member for a great deal. They slid right in beautifully my installer said! Even being used for the second time on 2 cars there top notch! I'm lowered on the pro-kit and my y-pipe clearance is better than stock! Really woke my ride up!

Kook's are an awesome product. Just be careful fitting the 1-7/8" models into a Corvette, its a very tough job.

They didn't when I posted that. Glad to see they have arrived and everyone is pleased with them.
