...to be entirely honest, with as many welds that have to be added in order to make these fit...and this is no slight against Jeremi, but welds are potential fail points...I can't help but wonder if the Kooks units wouldn't be better after all.
No, I entirely agree with him. The problem, however, is that I'm thinking that it would have been better to start from scratch...I get itchy looking at header redos like this one.But with the Kooks units, he wouldn't have been trying something "new.."
This is Jeremi, after all..
My guess is from a performance perspective there is no comparison between the Kooks and custom long tubes. As long as the welds are done right they will not fail. I forgot if these were stainless, but rust will not be much of an issue since their was never any intension to drive it in the winter. You could always get a custom set ceramic coated in & out.
That's the main reason why I moved away from my mother-in-law. She's really corrosive, nothing's safe around her, especially bare metal.
