kooks header with A.I.R. connection wrong
kooks header with A.I.R. connection wrong This is on a 1999 TA. The driver side A.I.R. fitting is not linged up with the A.I.R. hose. Is this header not for a 1999 TA, or is the header built wrong?
You might have received a 2000 header. 2000's are a bit different from 98-99 if I remember right. I think people have to heat/bent the pipe 90 degrees or something like that when using 2000 parts or vice versa. Check the archives.

I went to Arizona Power and Sound today, and they had a bunch of A.I.R. hoses laying around. I found one that matches up perfectly. It seems like GM changed the design mid year in 99.

The point of using stainless is it wont rust or corrode over time not because its pretty. The coating acts as an insulator to keep the heat inside instead of the engine compartment. Stainless has a poor thermal transfer so the coating isnt needed on it as much as steel but I guess it couldnt hurt.

still, nobody has said why someone would buy stainless headers and have them coated. coated steel and coated stainless steel would have the same results. except steel would cost a bunch less.
