I have FLP's and also the eiback pro-kit, so my ground clearance sucks. I have to watch out for every speed bump or incline. If the kooks have improved clearance I would go with those.

Surely he means $7XX for just the headers
because I'm paying $8XX For just the headers and the 3" ORY is another 250 in NE Georgia.

I have FLP's and the ground clearance isnt bad, but its not too good either. Also, the reason FLP's cost so much is that it comes with a complete setup LTs hi-flow cats and the Y-pipe (inerchangable cats and off road pipes). I like the setup personally, you pay for what you get.
