Default Kooks Headers
Just getting back into the LSX game after a 10 year absence. What vendor usually has the best prices on Kooks?

When I purchased my Kook's a new months ago the WS6 Store had the best price.

Has Kooks resolved their quality issues they were having earlier this year ?

I broke down and ordered the speed eng headers. I literally had the kooks in the cart and was checking out and just couldn't pull the trigger on 1200 bucks for headers and ory vs 400 for headers and ory. I know going in that the merge on the speed eng is not going to tuck high enough for my liking but for the price I will live with it for now

Whatever you do, don't order from Maryland Speed! There are hundreds of very negative posts on the internet about that company. Here is one of the latest threads:

Don't do it! You definitely don't want to deal with the hassle, the wait, and the lies. So many lies. I'm glad I saved you a lot of trouble!

I called Maryland Speed when I ordered mine and asked for a deal. Ordered 1 7/8 in. headers along with a kooks 3 in y-pipe with high flow cats for 1,300 total. However it took forever for me to get the parts. If you dont mind waiting they have the best prices I.M.O

Sounds like they are creating their own group buys by sitting on customers money until they have enough orders lol

I suggest calling WS6 Store. When I ordered mine the Kook's headers and Y pipe arrived with in a few days. Outstanding service.

I just spoke with a rep at Kooks today and they informed me that they NO LONGER have any ties with Maryland Speed. Consider this a warning for anyone looking to buy from them they will NOT GET ANY KOOKS PRODUCTS.
