Kooks Headers

RE: Kooks Headers

"Lookin' Guuud!"

Last year when I went to pick up the El Camino after having the Megashifter installed there was a guy there who was going over the car, turned out to be George Kook, Jr. Their old place was two doors down from the transmission shop, www.fbperformance.com. They've since moved down the road a piece.

He insisted I bring it up the block to his shop so he could show it to his custom exhaust guy. I nearly fainted when they quoted me over $4000! In any case, it was kind of cool seeing the facility with all the tube benders and welders. Lots of noise and activity putting out a ton of headers for shipment.

JP, were the stage 8's long enough, or did you need the longer ones?

Looks like the o2's are a cinch to change now!

Also, tell us how that new steering knuckle drives.

You need the longer ones.

The test drive report will have to wait. It's still on the rack. One more bend and weld on the drivers side downpipe, then a front end alignment.

The pics were just a hospital visit. :+
 
RE: Kooks Headers

Looking good. Looks like they have alot more clearance than mine. How does the exhaust sound now? Are those the 3/4 lenghts?

RE: Kooks Headers

Thanks all, can't wait to hear it and drive it. They are the 3/4 length headers. Everything clears but some places only show minimal clearance. It may even be possible to see what it does at the track next weekend.
 
RE: Kooks Headers

JP, Do you need to get another JW dyno tune when you install headers to take full advantage of the mod?
 
RE: Kooks Headers

Some have told me with the headers and the ported/polished intake, it will need a tune to take full advantage of the mods. I take that to mean I don't need one but it would produce more HP with another dynotune.
