Default Differences in headers

I'm looking at headers, and i've founded a set of kooks lt's for 910 dollars ceramic coated, and then a set of mac lt ceramic coated WITH off-road x pipe, which ill be buying anyway, for only 675 now ive heard good things about mac and kooks so why the almost 300 dollar price difference?

links if your curious

Kooks are one of the best but I had MAC axlebacks on an 06 GTand they were a solid set....so I don't know. Kooks has a very good rep and great sound. Also I think Kooks are made in New Jersey/New York where everything costs more(Ok weak reason sorry)

I say ARH are the best. They have the best welds. Kooks and ARH are the only 2 I will run on my car. They are both stainless steel so they will never rust. The mac's are ok but in a couple years they will rust from the inside out. If I were you I would buy the ARH's from lethal. I know 562cobra will agree with me.

Yes they are. You get what you pay for. You can't go wrong with either kooks or ARH but my vote goes for ARH and I know other people will say the same.

I'm also in the same boat as you broke college student lol. Thats why I'm just gonna keep saving for my ARH. It will be worth it in the long run. Don't settle for less.

Kooks Step Racing Headers are the best in the market. They are also the most expensive in the market. The primaries start off as 1 3/4" and expand to 1 7/8", to exaggerate the "scavenging" effect of the harmonic waves of the exhaust, which, in return, will net you the most hp increase...
