Default My Kooks headers!

Day 1... (my Kooks headers)

UPS delivered them at 7:00pm this evening..

Looks like tbyrne forgot my $50 gift certificate (gotta call them tommorrow..)

On a lighter note the headers look sweet! Unbelievable build quality! And thanks to tbyrne for getting them to me soooo fast!

I think I may be the first one to intall the 2005 connection pipes on my gto (part # 6702-CC)

I hope all goes well!

Pics will be posted tommorrow morning!

Ok, here is a pic... sorry the image quality isn't to great.... Had to use my camcorder.... the dig. cam. went missing.... (sister)...




I would also like to correct myself about the gift card.... The package was drop shipped from kooks so there is no way tbyrne could have included the giftcard..... hopefully I will see it in the mail!

The headers look NICE don't they?

Very nice, although I didn't know Kooks used a ball joint connection (learn something new every day here).

Have fun!

Are the Kooks really that far ahead of pacesetters or are you just being a little over the top? I ask because with all that my friends have been telling me I'm starting to be tempted to just tell the shop that I ordered the pacesetters from I won't be coming in to pick them up so that I can save up and get some QTP's or Kooks instead :X

That is what I have heard, and they are stainless steel.

For the money, pacesetters are the only way to go. I do not regret getting them for a second. They slid in like butter and still look great (well the parts you can see from the engine bay anyway.

If you dont want to pay for stainless, there is really no reason not to buy pacesetters.

To most people, pacesetters look like nice ceramic coated headers, but the Kooks/QTP's look like a more professional job.
