I am just wondering what people think because I have been that Kooks Headers produce the most power then any other header on the market but for the LT1 they want $1014.90 and thats a lot when you can get some hookers even or headmens for way cheaper

 

Hooker LT's were a very inexspensive popular header back in the LT1 days

 

your paying for stainless steel. even the ceramic coated headers like pacesetter or hooker end up rusting in a years time.

 

In terms of power, the Kooks are going to be close to the other long tubes on the market. What you are paying for is the quality of the product.

 

kOOKS LT1 HEADERS AT Maryland speed for $804

 

tHATS WITHOUT THE y pipe or coating

 

no offense but me being a cheap high school student i'd rather pay $400 for coated pacesetters and just make sure i keep em clean but thats just my .02.... Hell if u have the money go for kooks but i kno for damn sure i dont lol

 

I've kept my Pacesetters clean. And even though I don't drive in rain or snow, the headers started rusting in less then a years time. After getting under the car today, they have gotten far worse.

 

didnt u get urs awhile ago? i have heard on here that they improved there coating since then...is that true?

 

Not sure if they improved their coating or not. I have heard recent complaints though regarding their coating rusting thru so I don't know. I won't be finding out the next time around though, expensive or not, the Kooks will be the next on the list.

 

back in 1996, I use to have a set of Macs headers . they were great headers ,easy fit and excellent spark plug access. then I switched to a set of Hooker LT's in and never looked back . I say go with the Hookers (Jet-Hot ) .

 

10 years down the road when i plan on putting in a 396 with a huge cam and a 200 shot...i'll switch to kooks...right now i just cant afford em lol

 

I love my Pacesetters, so far. They've been on the car for almost a year now and still look good. They sound pretty badass with my magnaflow too.

 

that makes me feel a bit better thx J Rod

 

Is anyone running Kooks with the Magnaflow catback?
