Question Kooks or QTP Headers???

I'll finally be ordering a set of headers in the next week or two. I have the extra $$$ to go with one of the S.S. sets but, not sure if I should go with the Kooks or QTP headers. I'm leaning towards the QTP headers and ORY pipe. Or should I just go with one of the cheaper sets and put the extra money towards a stall or somthing else.
By the way, I'll also be changing my gears from 3.23's to 3.73's.
Thanks in advance for any advise.

AZEE, I'v egot the QTP race headers and love them!! The only thing I regret, not regret, but the only thing I wish I did was get the high velocity merge collectors. But oh well, just have to make up for that somewhere else. The headers are top notch and look great!! I got the ORY as well, but I'm planning on switching my current setup to true duals with an X-pipe and probably some Magnaflows exiting out the back. Good luck, you'll love the headers!!

I agree with Cannibal, the 1 7/8 race headers are the way to go. I had no problems with mine and i love them...

It dosen't really matter. Both are the same header. Both QTP and Kooks follow the old Grotohayn design. It all depends on what you can get cheaper and how long it will take to get them.
