Thanks a lot man! Good pics and the merge looks quite a bit better than the one on my Jet Hot Y pipe I used to have. Let us know the results when you get them installed. My SS is in need of a set of these badly.

Now that I have them what else do I need to supply for the install? I've seen the SLP header install kit for 109 bucks but I'd still need O2 sims and extentions right? I've also seen those stage 8 bolts but I"ve heard they aren't requirement. Anything else I might need? Thanks.

I would recommend that you use the stock style exhausht manifold gasket,would also suggest you change the plugs and wires while your doing the headers.I used a heat boot shield for each wire so they would not get burned by the headers.

Quick question on the headers: Does Kook's stamp their headers or Y-pipe with their name? Or are they not marked?

Kooks should be stamped. QTP kind of presses a plate with their logo/name on their headers.
