nice choice! I'm definately going to give the kooks a try after these pacesetters crap out. If i could go back and do it over again i would have waited an extra month and gone stainless! AHH lessons we learn. Not that the pacesetters are crap, for the price they are great quality but they will need to be replaced someday

I have had my kooks on for a little over 2 years and no issues.. could not say anything bad about them. all around awsome made/fitment headers. only thing I'll add is you can reuse the OE exhaust gaskets, so dont purchase any. use the same ones. I've had no issues with them.

We sell a ton of Kooks and all the customers love them. They are pricey, but you get what you pay for.
