Kooks LT & Y-Pipe?
So... I've been thinking hard about which long tubes I want to get.
I've come to the conclusion I want the cats in the Y-pipe even though I have a 95. I've also come to the conclusion that Kooks are pretty well appreciated amongst most things I read. combine the two "conclusions" and I would say I should get kooks headers and y-pipe however, before I spend nearly 1800 on some tubes, can anyone give me some good reasons not to? or why another brand has the advantage of blabla? |
Just installed Kooks + catted y-pipe on my '97 6 months ago.... their headers are truly a work of art.
I had a set of mac shorties on my '94, and there is no comparison to the quality between the kooks and the macs. You wont be disappointed with the fit & finish of the kooks. |

They "suck up" under the car REALLY well - better than my macs did on my '94. The only clearance issues I have with my car are from the cross member on my spohn torque arm - its bent to allow clearance for longtube y-pipes.
The car is lowered (coil overs on all 4 corners), but I dont have any issues with the exhaust - though, I would never attempt a speed bump with it =D |
anyone, have different feeling with regard to coatings?
I've read some places that SS headers does not need to be coated? is this true? |
I didn't get mine coated and my engine bay gets pretty hot. The next time I have the engine out, I will definitely have the headers coated. As for the quality, Kooks are really nice and gave me much more ground clearance than my LT Hookers.

I had mine coated with Jet Hot's Extreme Sterling.

Here is a link to the album. I think you can view a little bit bigger picture on the host's website if you click the pictures a couple times.

that looks nice...
now I'm tempted to get that color... Its a good contrast between the SS of the y-pipe and the coating on the kooks, I would have thought they were a certain shine until I saw that Y-pipe sitting next to it. you didn't get you y-pipe coated? |
I think that coating looks pretty good. It may not look as nice the regular Sterling, but it's supposedly a little better coating. I also believe it was a free upgrade when I got my headers. I didn't get the y-pipe coated. Most people seemed to think it would be of little benefit.
