Default Header Help (kooks)

I've decided on Kooks.

Here is what I want to do.

I want kooks 1 7/8th headers (off road) , AND the ORY that will bolt to the factory exhaust.

What setup do I need?

Is this stuff correct:

http://marylandspeed.com/kooks-1-78-...rhs-p-783.html

and

http://marylandspeed.com/kooks-3-off...02s-p-702.html

Thanks for any info, I'm just confused on all the different setups they offer I guess.

-Andrew

Thumbs down

Well her is what happened to me. I ordered kools lt and kooks true duals got a good price. I waited a month just for headers. Then 2 weeks later my exhaust never comes. I. Call maryland speed and ask when would they think it would be shipped. I had single tips which had to be ordered. He says in a shitty tone when its made it wil be ready. I said ok and hung up. Another week call to see if somethings wrong. He said he doesnt know when it will be made. So i said very nicely is there any chance you can call kooks and see when it will be made. He said yes. He said he would call back. Never called me back. So i call kooks. I tell them my name and he says we have no order for you so i was wondering what the hell was going on at this point. Also my car i cant drive with open headers and h/c/i cause its to damn loud. So i call ms and tell them what they told me and hes say i filled the order and shipped it. He said hold on a minute and didnt put the phone on mute. I hear ****. How the hell didnt i send this. So then he picks the phone up. Yah it must just take a while to get turned it to kooks. I got pissed and started to tell him what i heard. it is then a long silence. I hang up and call kooks. They said they would get it done in two dyas and shipped. They held up to there promise. And i got it in like 5 days. i had nothing but problems with ms.

Sorry just had to rant. The headers are the best. They went in and fit great. Did not have to move or grind anything. The true dual exhaust also fit like a dream. Headers and exhaust sound the best i will post a vid of it thursday. I will pm you the vid if you would like.

I would recommend there stepped headers more HP for not much more price.

plus you got a stock cube, stock exhaust system with 1 7/8s you might lose some mid range power
