Default Kooks for $560???




Kooks has no info on the LS1 headers. I'm looking at the 98 weld on for 560, these are stainless steel right??? What is the difference in slip on and weld on??? What about stainless steel LT's??? I like QTP's, do the other 2 compare to QTP's??? If Kooks are the same as QTP's I'd be happy to save almost $200!!!

Please any info on:
QTP's vs. Stainless Steel Works vs. Kooks would be greatly appreciated.

jeremy, i dont know your question but IMHO stay away from slip on collectors, they are horrid for a street car and leak nasty (esp with big lumpy cams). you will hate driving it in the winter time and it could be dangerious. that is why i had to sell my dynatechs. kooks i know for years and years has made a top quality expensive header. i wouldnt expect them to be cheap.
