Kooks Custom Headers and Exhaust

[Johnb-5.0]

Nataphen that's headers and pipes. Kooks wants 1500 for just headers

I have 1-7/8" headers. 3" pipes and mid pipes for 1500

Yes 1449.99 msrp just for the headers and 749.99 msrp for off-road x-pipe total price 2199.98. The mid-piping is long enough that it eliminates the stock resonators but you must cut the stock pipe to fit.

For the record, I've had both headers and there's nothing else out there that compares, IMO. Between Kooks and ARH.... flip a coin. Employees from Kooks started ARH so it explains that the style is very similar.

 

[stanglife]

I should add - this is par for the course for a nice stainless system...Heck, it's even a good deal. I had an RS4 and a nice stainless system for that one was $3500 easy - and that DIDN'T INCLUDE HEADERS - omg. Long gone are the days of BBK shorties and flowmasters, lol. Get exotic car features, pay exotic prices for exotic parts.

And Vodoooo, I'm sure it will not be long before your buds at ARH come up with a complete system - it's the smart thing to do and they are smart dudes.

Thread cleaned up. Please keep the bickering out of this.

The mid-piping is long enough that it eliminates the stock resonators but you must cut the stock pipe to fit.

Why would they do that? Makes no sense especially if someone is to put headers and connections on an R. Sounds like needless cutting to me.

 

[stanglife]

Nowhere did I say either brand is superior over the other. I said the pricing on the kooks is nuts. And I never said the kooks prices were for just the headers.

Well I guess you need to explain what is "nuts" to you. I don't see it. All I can see is that you thought it wasn't the whole kit but since realized it. (that clean enough for you, mods?). The price seems the same.

 

[stanglife]

Stanglife do me a favor and put me on your ignore list. You like to argue and start arguments with anything you disagree with. I'm aware the kooks exhaust is a complete kit. I talked to Brad today and he said what it consists of and which converters were included with which price. Just as I posted. But instead you can't comprehend what you read and start a argument with me over your own ignorance. You even smart mouth the mod. Have a great evening.

I'm trying to get my point across without stepping over the line.

Simply, you made it sound like it was the whole kit. I want to make sure that anyone reading this knows that was only a knee-jerk reaction and that the prices are competitive. It's only fair but you don't seem to be able to handle it.

So, in summary, it looks like Kooks and ARH are basically the same price (within a couple hundred $$) on the GT. Seems like they will likely be pretty close on the GT350 as well.

I called kooks and spoke to brad.
Headers and exhaust with off road pipes $3599.97
Headers and cats $3749.97
Headers and green cats $4199.97
That's nuts

And some would think what you are doing to your car is nuts. But it's yours to do with as you please. ;)

But since youre in here let me ask you a few questions about the ARH system you have installed on your car. Did ARH incorporate the factory dampener system into their design? Did ARH incorporate any "flex-style" connections into their system? Did ARH bring a car in house to verify the fit and finish of their system? Did ARH do before and after Dyno tests in a controlled environment with the only mods being the exhaust?

I can answer each and every one of this questions for Kooks with a resounding YES. This type of R&D costs money and Kooks has factored that into the pricing. Also, this is a premium system designed for a premium car. This isn't just another run of the mill Coyote header system adapted to work on the Shelby.
:shrug:

Come on Man, if you can come in here throwing rocks, surely you can answer my simple questions.

 

[Voodooo]

Where did I throw rocks? Because I mentioned the price? And to be 100% honest I only confirmed the price of the complete exhaust system. That's all. Your buddy blew this whole thread out of wack.
To answer your questions.
I have done a baseline dyno pull at Watson racing in a controlled environment.
I do my own work and installs. My headers are installed. The exhaust is still in the design stage.
No mods are made to my car it is 100% stock. The only mod at this moment is the headers that are installed on it. Nothing more. ARH and I are still in the design stage for the exhaust pipes. I never disrespected kooks. I only mentioned the price and that's all. You and your ball swinger blow everything out of proportion. You judge without know anything of me. You have no idea of who I am or my background.
No where on this thread did I say that the kooks system was just headers. Your buddy stanglife said that not me. I know what the prices consist of and I knew all along it was for the whole exhaust system. But no matter what thread I post on, you and stanglife like to start a argument.

And to think I sent you a peace offering PM...sorta. I'll have to take that back.

So now I realize how far the narcissism and deception goes with you. Did you not refer to the price as "that's nuts"??

There was a post that was deleted where someone pointed out that the price was essentially the same to which you replied, "I strongly disagree"? I understand the backpedaling, since you came into someone else's thread all hot n' heavy but then looked like a fool. Now it's everyone else who is starting stuff and you were never wrong in the first place?

Get over yourself. The price is similar and you have mid-length headers.

Found this tour of Kooks factory:

Pretty impressive stuff. Does ARH use Romer arms for development & QC?
