RE: KOOKS HEADERS?
Well I will weigh in here, not sure why everyone is so hot on KOOKS LT headers, yeah they are great but they are also hella expensive !!! Want them ceramic coated, tack on another $300 , for the return in HP its too much for me, I went with SLP LT / Catted X-Pipe , $599 for Longtubes, $229 for Catted X-pipe, $400 for install = $1228 installed, T304 stainless, ceramic coated, also the KOOKS are 15/8" diameter, great for naturally aspirated but usually people getting LT are going to eventually NOS or SC where you will want larger diameter 1 3/4" like the SLPs, just my two cents but i am happy with my set-up, just wondering if anyoone else has SLP set-up?

RE: KOOKS HEADERS?
I stand corrected, the headers were $699 from RPM outlet, still a kick *** price for coated and T-304 stainless.
Cheapest I have ever seen for Kooks system was $1295 un-coated (group buy), so add $300 for coated roughly $1595, still need to get them installed, so you are close to $2000 when its all said and done, just too much $$ for essentially the same performance gain I have now, do they perform $800 better I doubt it, but if you got the money......
