KOOKS or QTP

I just purchased pacesetter race headers since QTP was going to be towards the end of June to get. I originally ordered QTP back in the end of april, they said I should have them around May 26th, I never received them so i called them up and was told June. So next year I might taking the motor back out again and doing some more work. I figured I might just upgrade to better headers . What would be better Kooks race headers or QTP race headers.

So you paid for the QTP's?

I would get the QTP's over Kooks...Especially since QTP has the HVMC.

I set up a garage account with QTP so no I didn't pay for them. I wasn't going to get charged for them untill they would be sent out.

You cant go wrong with either, the only thing is the HVMC that you can get with the QTP's.

So you don't want to wait till the end of the month? Get a cutout or something to hold you over!

QTP's have the venturi collectors with the turbulance spike, HVMC, and are polished.

Kooks does offer HVMC but it's $500 more atop of the $800 for the headers and the headers aren't polished.

Go QTP!

I have both headers by the way.

I have QTP's and very happy with them. But the dual cut out Y pipe hangs pretty low.

How owuld the HVMCs sdo with a blown application with tons of air going through there? Would it end up being a restriction or is that not an issue? Just wondering since im planning on moving fairly large quantities of air here shortly.
