My question would be if their is any actual power advantage with the kooks over the hookers? I am going with a similar set up (346+15#) and was wondering which route I should go. Since mine is on a true poor mans budget I might opt to go with the 1 7/8" hookers, they are like half the price. That is unless someone else can change my mind and prove that the kooks flow better.

I think that you just answered your question right there. There is not much of a difference, if any, between flow rates, just overall quality and fitment of the product. Hooker will work great for you!

Go for the QTP HVMC. It will make the most power and will be the last header you will buy for the car. The supercharger will love the merge collector.
