but i have only heard good things about kooks, and if youve got the money its the only way to go. (only thing better is jet-hot coated kooks )
Only thing better then that would be a seperate private company's coatings on the headers like an Airborne Coatings ceramic, much better formula and more evenly and thoroughly coated rather then the mass produces stuff from Jet-Hot. I do agree though, i wouldn't go un-coated, stainless or not, its not just for the rust

Depends on your timeframe; I can't get a straigt answer on delivery date. I'm looking at them too, but so far they are not available. I keep getting "a couple weeks hopefully", and SSAutochrome themselves hasn't bothered to answer my email.

I'd be inclined to have them coated too, at least up top near the heads.

I have a set of Jet Hot coated Hooker LTs and never had an issue with them. Install was a bitch but everyone knows that going in.

Unless you are HEAVILY modded, the switch to longtubes will gain little or no power.
