Default Kooks = Great Quality!

We installed Kooks 1 7/8" headers and their x pipe on this bad boy. Also installed a ported manifold for a bit more flow One of our favorite cars we've had the chance to work on to date, thanks Julio!

Thought we should show it off. The headers and kit fit very well with excellent ground clearance on a lowered car...

If anyone is in the market, we can get any Kooks part you need! Just give us a shout.






Driver side header fitment (steering shaft has to be disconnected)


Pass side fitment is even more roomy!

Installed:

I agree. Kooks or GTFO. Quality blew my mind. Makes Pacesetters and SLP look like they were put together Ray Charles. The only thing I did'nt like was, the "scrapes" that were left on all of the primaries. From what I read, it was from the mandrel machine. Doesnt effect performance, but does look bad.
