I think Kooks are more than QTP plus QTP is having a sale. I think I would go with QTP if they are close to the same price

Well seeing as a ton of people have Hooker headers there are the same design so I don't see what the difference is. Besides being stainless they would be the same

Well, I just got the Hooker coated ones from Thunder. Assuming they're the same design, they should be great! Also, I highly suggest getting a Mufflex y-pipe, as opposed to the Hooker. Angie (at Thunder) talked me into it, and I love her for it. It is 2 3" pipes, through a true Flowmaster "Y", and into a 4" intermediate pipe. This setup should handle ANYTHING any of us would ever do to our cars.
