Fitment on these are really good. Plenty of room between the steering shaft, block, and K-Member. Its one of the reasons we changed the design. The AIR/EGR version is a little tighter than we wanted.

Thanks

Any future plans for some 1 7/8th headers so you can really give TSP a run for its money.

Not at the moment. We are working on a truck version, and other misc intakes etc before we make a larger version.

Thanks

Look great and an even better price. No-brainer to go with these over anything else unless you want to spend $$$$ for 1-7/8" or name-brand

I'm still deciding on a true dual or a Y-pipe setup. If I go Y, will just about any quality Y match up with your headers?

Not sure, the only one we have tried to test fit so far is our stainless one.

Thanks

Nice product, seems a bit late to the market. Countless dynos and tracks have shown that 1 7/8" make more power, even on a stock car.

Are these made in house?

Could you please enlighten us toward which company produces 1-7/8" stainless headers that are available for $230?

None of them. I never had a mention of price.

I simply claimed that you were making a late entrance into a market, where the product you are offering may have been proven obsolete, even on a stock engine (compared to bigger headers, obviously there are gains over stock). Surely you are offering headers at a great price, however stainless steel headers with 1 3/4" primaries at a sub $200 price have been on the market for years, I owned a set and loved them.

Now if you offer some 1 7/8" headers at a sub $300 price point, you have found your niche.

Again, do you make these in house? If so I applaud you and the price is more than worth it, as I would be willing to pay for something made in the states, with a local customer service contact (why I bought Kooks).

In reference to your last question. If these are like them, then I'd venture the answer would be "no"

What is available today (and the past several years) in the $200 range are 1-3/4" inlets; they are 1-5/8" primaries: https://ls1tech.com/forums/generatio...primaries.html
