The kooks headers remove ALL of the depth to the sound, the car only makes ONE sound with the.

Check this out on Streetfire. This is the car I've seen in person.

That sounded incredibly raspy and bad.

All those letters may sound like Im making fun of this, but on the flip side those are closer than you think to real sounds. Im a sound technician for a band in my spare time and I have a good ear. Anyway the kooks headers make one sound when compared to a normal "several sounds" in other exhaust notes and I can put the video into a sound analysis program to prove that if you want. they make a very shallow noise.

Im saying kooks is for horsepower and the sound is so flat that you wouldnt want them for that. Part of the bonus in headers is the sound so kooks is a bit of a let down in that area.

Personally I like the Mac headers the most and the steelworks headers next. Theyre a bit too loud espetially in person, though some people like that. Very oldschool you know.
