Kooks Revised F body Header We here at Kooks Custom Headers have strived for 45 years to bring the general public and the racing community the highest quality Header and exhaust systems in the world. We would like to introduce the newest version of the F-Body header. The Changes that you will see are our Stamped merge collectors on all F-Body headers now comes standard at no additional cost to the consumer. We have also incorporated an extra 02 bung in the driver side collector for A/F ratio or wide band for dyno tuning purposes. We will also include a stainless steel plug for the extra bung if it is not going to be put to use. All this is in addition to our normal Kooks craftsmanship like 304S/S construction throughout including the y pipe; all hardware is included from the clamps to the gaskets to the new bolt kit. Produced here in our 24,000 square foot facility located right here in Long Island, NY all this with not a single increase in cost to the consumer.

Because Kooks and ARH have the two most expensive headers for our cars. The ARH's seemed to be more popular because of their merge collectors, and that alone made them a better deal for relatively the same money. It kind of put Kooks on the sideline for awhile. Now that Kooks offers the same collectors, there is no real advantage to the ARH headers anymore. Since they are priced almost the same, there's no advantage to the ARH's anymore, putting Kooks back up at the top. I say they're not a big theat to QTP's because QTP's are on a lower pricing level as Kooks or ARH.

I'm speaking of headers only. I've heard fitment complaints with every brand, be it QTP, Kooks, ARH and all the low end headers, also. Naturally, you'll hear more complaints about the headers that sell more, and the cheaper headers tend to sell more. I'd expect more fitment complaints from QTP and Kooks because they have sold a lot more headers than ARH over the years. I've heard great things about Kooks fitment also, and I'd love to see these new ones vs. ARH. I'm always glad to see new and revised products on the market. It makes me happy to see that our cars have been discontinued for 6 years and people are still coming out with new things.

It says they come with merge collectors. The collectors QTP and ARH have are called "merge collectors." "High velocity merge collectors" or HVMC's are QTP's trademark for their collector design. It's like calling a tissue a Kleenex - that word belongs to QTP only. However, they are ALL merge collectors. You have standard collectors and you have merge collectors. All merge collectors are essentially the same.
