Default Switching from kooks too Victor Series Drag Race Headers? Yes or, no

Found a set of these headers for cheap and seen what the actual price is. I currently have kooks 1 7/8 and thinking about going to these. Mine are not in the vest shape and I have only read a couple of review on these people who have used them. well here the link what u think?

I'd be hesitant as they're a 1 3/4 header stepped to 1 7/8ths, unlike the full 1 /78ths you have now

Well how bad are your kooks? These aren't stainless i dont think, and will eventually rust through the coating.

I would just keep your 1 7/8 stainless kooks.
