Default Intake/Exhaust Questions

1. Can someone tell me the reason the Brenspeed Kooks header set is $1,300 while this GMS set is only $600 ?

They look exactly the same to me. Seems like the only difference might be the header tubing size.

2. What is the size of the stock throttle body, and why is the GMS TB supposed to be so much better and add so much more power? You never hear of anyone doing this as a mod. Seems like a very easy way to gain hp.

2) The GMS TB used to have many problems like all TBs seem to have. The gains they advertise never are reality. Especially on a n/a car. TBs do get some good gains on FI cars, but even then the stock TB is good for well over 500 HP

As for the headers, you are right they look the same, so much so i think they are the kooks!!

Not sure what kind of SS the kooks are, but the GMS is 304 SS, and that's good stuff!

Matt, when are you going to get us a sound clip of your car? I'd love to hear your setup.
