Kooks new LT1 headers!

Just received word from Kooks that their LT1 headers are going to be released within a couple of weeks. Here are the details as of right now.

1 3/4 to 1 7/8 stepped, available with a 3" or 3 1/2" collector.

Primary tubes are between 28-32" in length.

The 1 3/4 portion of the primaries is about 4-5" before it steps to 1 7/8".

Stainless steel, top of the line Kooks construction. If any of you are familiar with Kooks, you know that their products are second to none. They're the nicest header my shop deals with. Period. So these will be probably the nicest LT1 headers on the market. And beings they are available with a 3 1/2" collector, they will work with some of the craziest applications.

According to Nick at Kooks, installation is extremely simple. He even ventured to say they're easier to install than their LS1 headers. He said they slide right in, and only require removing 4 spark plugs.

Pricing will be comparable to their LS1 headers (not official yet). We are taking orders now, so if you'd like to order a set, please give me a call at 281-448-1300, and we'll take care of you

Re: Kooks new LT1 headers!

What size collectors? I guarantee the quality of the Kooks far surpasses that of the Hedmans. And for only a little over 100 dollars more, not that big of a price difference really.

Those prices I listed really aren't that bad, that's giving you the best deal possible. Normal retail on the stainless versions is supposed to be 964.

Re: Kooks new LT1 headers!

Here's a few pictures of the headers. The headers pictured appear to be 3" collectors w/ the air/egr provisions... All the headers I have on order are race headers, that will have 3 1/2" collectors, and no egr/air provisions. If anybody would like differently, please let me know. The first shipment should be here in about 3 weeks...

Re: Kooks new LT1 headers!

They look like top shelf headers for the LT1, but having paid less than 500 shipped for Jet Hot LT's, the JH LT's are a tough value to beat.
