Default FLP's or Kooks LT Headers???

Ok, i am stuck between getting FLP's or Kooks. One of the big problems is that im not sure where i can even get FLP's. Ive been looking forever for them but cant find them anywhere. Not sure if there under a different name or something, i think there made by dynatech though. Anyway anyone know where i can find them and which ones would be a better choice. I wanna eventually get them without cats, true dual exhaust, and dual cut-outs, i already have magnaflow cat-back, but im sure that has to change for true duals. Anybody have any info, would be greatly appreciated.

I have flp's. You should get kooks espesially if you're going to get an x pipe. FLP only sells theirs as a kit w/ headers, y, cats, and off road pipes, and kooks are stainless. I heard they are not making headers for f bodys any more.

Heard they were having issues with coatings.

Compairing Kooks to FLPs is like apples to oranges. FLPs are coated and Kooks are SS. Go with Kooks or a set of QTP's.

Ok, it sounds like Kooks it is, how do they hook up with the true duals, who should i go to for true duals and what size kooks should i use. I heard that the 1 7/8 are horrible to installa nd have ground clearance issues, so should i get 1 3/4. Also where can i find the kooks, i checked there website but cant find them for f-bodies, i am having trouble sorthing through there page. When i click on headers all i mostly see are for cobras. Oh, and if you cant tell by what i wanna do, sound is very important and after the exhaust and rear-end the car is getting a TREX cam.

I agree there web site is very confusing, check the other sponsors.

Here is a GP you can get in on.

I have kooks lt's. The ORY sucks and bangs like crazy. I ended buying TSP true duals, they bolt right up to the kooks even though it doesn't say so on their website. They will also work for QTP's. The only problem I have is cleareance. I wish they made a 2.5" system. That would help for clearance alot.

Get ahold of Matt at TTP. Great guy and gave me a great price. He even hooked me up on a GP price for the y-pipe which I ended up purchasing later, after the GP ended.
