I'm in the market for some Kook's headers for my MM and was wondering if anyone out there has had some long delays ( more than 3 wks) in receiving their headers from Kook's. Kook's just started a new batch this past Monday and are giving me a 3 week lead time.....just considering my options (Stainless Works or Kooks) thx everyone....
 
Personally, I would stay with the Kooks.
They've been making headers for Marauders the longest.
They are also the first to make long tube headers for Marauders.

My exhaust is going to need to be replaced soon.
When it does, it is going to get Kooks - ceramic coated.
 
Many of us have waited longer, sometimes far longer.

Perhaps you caught them at a good time. I wouldn't wait if so, they WILL sell the batch out quickly.

Great product, my highest HP gain over all I have done.
 
I purchased the car with Kooks already installed but due to the mild steel construction (not coated) it's starting to rust on the drivers side with a small indication of pin holes....I had several quotes for labour charges ($800-$1000)
for an install, but one garage said that they might have to drop the front suspension to make it easier....is there another alternative? Sorry guy's seem that I'm jumping onto another subject, but I'll take anybody's suggestion at the moment.....

I wasn't aware Stainless rusted?
All KOOKS were Stainless regardless of optional coating.

Stainless will discolor but yeah it should not "rust" through. Post pics of what you are seeing?

Stainless works headers are awsome.. what goes after the headers.. I dont even wanna go there..
 
Stainless can, eventually, corrode if cared for poorly. The metal Stains Less. I have seen it before....

:(

PS - ^^^THAT^^^ is NOT Stainless.
 
Yep. Mild steel. IMO, you have to order back something in SS (304 better than 409) very fast as they look ready to hole through ... Don,t even touch them before having their replacement in hand.

Personnally, I had an in between batch as my Kooks headers were SS and just blued without rust but the X pipe was/is mild crap and look similar to that primary pipes picture after just 2 years. I"m in the process of doing it custom in 2½ SS and rushing it at that... Their headers are great though (in SS); install is easy and they perform flawlessly.


SHHHH Doin' aftermarket pipes, at the price they are selling them, in steel in plainly .... (add your favorite 'off the net' dirty word ...)

Hey... the headers alone ended up at about $1100.00 after coating and shipping charges ( would have been more if Greg at FIT hadn't put the GB together).... I should show them off!
Good thing I can install them myself, too.

These car's ain't cheap to play with.... tell you what.
