Without hesitation, worth every penney! About the only headers you can drive the dog **** out of, then sell 2 years later and get most of your money back 'cause they still look like new!

You can pick up the kooks 1 3/4" and ORY for about 900 bucks, cats obviously a little more.... Still waiting to see how they look, my cars getting worked on, and that's apart of the process...CANT WAIT!

I just checked their website, in their specials section.

TTPerformance in New Jersey

F-Body 1 3/4" $778.41
F-Body 1 7/8" $778.41
F-Body 1 3/4" to 1 7/8" Stepped $890.10
F-Body 1 7/8 to 2" Stepped (3 1/2" Collectors) $890.10
F-Body Hi-Flow SS Catted Y-Pipe: $475 (Add $40 for 3.5" Collectors)
F-Body Offroad Y-Pipe: $215 (Add $40 for 3.5" Collectors)
F-Body O2 Extensions (Pair): $45

Guess it was 1,000 bucks, but if you find a cheaper price they will beat it, they work with them alot.

Not really, same design, QTP has a slightly better finish to them, the only real difference is in the Y-pipe. The Kooks Y is more convenient and tucks up nicer than the QTP
