Default Kooks vs. QTPs

I nned headers now. I have narrowed my choices down to a stainless headers with a catted Y pipe. As far as quality and performance goes, which system is better, Kooks or QTPs? I talked to Nick @ Kooks and he said that his header will out perform any other. Is this true? Will QTPs be just as good? Please comment with you thoughts about Kook and QTP. Thanks.

I went with the Kooks FWIW. You can find a picture of them at More Performance's web site. Plus, there's not much of a wait at all.

How do you like the Kooks? They look like a nice piece. How's the Y pipe? Is the merge to the catback smooth? Please let me know so I can order this up.

QTPs use the same design and a merge collector and are made of high grade stainless steel.

As Nick said in the other thread - they just contracted with another coater so that there wouldn't be the wait for coating. You could always order stainless from Kooks and skip the coating process all together - you'd probably see the headers in 2 weeks that way.
