I'm in the same boat, the price of catted stainless power headers is insanely cheap. But I'm worried about the quality and sound... I really want a Kooks set up..premium stuff. You do get what you pay for after all..

Well they are apparently the same thing as the stainless works just with a three year warranty. There's been a bunch of people that have bought them. I haven't seen anything negative about them here yet.

I really want to do it but its going to make my car so damn loud

there are some slight differences between the collector size (2 3/4 vice 3) from what I have seen. I have a set of SPs in the garage and compared them side by side to my SW headers. They are a quality header for sure.

If that's the case then I definitely don't want SP. I want to maintain the 3" with no neckdowns to my Corsa Sports. I haven't seen or had confirmed that Kooks makes any with a 3" performance connect.

it has an engine!
so far it doesn't smell bad according to 3 people in Florida. 2 people not in florida think it does smell bad and a third says only while stopped.

maybe the fishy ocean smell is overbearing?
My gt500 or 04 cobra smelled while catless. None of the 4 subarus have either. My mkiv supra didnt either. The only car that did had a carburetor.

the metal is 304 stainless on the stainless power just like the stainless works.

its not a cheaper grade steel,

the collector is also a 3" collector, it has a slightly different design than the stainless works collector, but it is a 3" collector.

and, we are running a phenomenal deal right now for the holiday!!!

for the $$, it is hands down the best value out there.

arh, kooks, stainless works, and stainless power are all great brands, and we sell a lot of each,

but, for the difference in price, this will get you more goodies for your car

My catless header setup smells. This is with stock resonator and stock mufflers. Only while sitting at a light with the windows down.

Would the catted version not be so damn loud with the Corsa xtreme?

they will be a little quieter, not a ton, but a little...

we can also include the off road leads for $40 more as well, neatest thing about the modular setup on the stainless works / power

Performance wise, what are we talking difference in the cat vs catless versions of these SP headers?

My catless setup smells too but it smells like freedom to me. I wouldn't live in a state that had crazy laws like Cali.

Oh ok, I wasn't aware they could be turned off. My mustang is a daily driver for now but FL is not an emission testing state. I ran catless on my Evo and didn't notice any smells...what's that about?
same here! everyone said how horrible it would be and I never noticed anything too bad on my Evo. Maybe just a lil bit if you are sitting in a drive through, but it only smelled of awesomeness. :thumbsup:
