Re: Help w/ Headers

Go with QTP if you are considering Kooks. Kooks for some reason has had some minor problems with welds leaking.

Nothing wrong with the Hookers though either.

Avoid SLP.

Do either headers come with a y-pipe?

Re: Re: Help w/ Headers

i think kooks come in a set. 1 more question Luos. When it rains the T-Tops leak. And behind in the left rear passenger seat a puddle of water settles in when it rains. WHAT CAN I DO. I DONT WANT THE CARPET TO BE SOAKED NOR THE LEATHER.

Re: Help w/ Headers

You need to have the tops re-sealed.
Not sure, but I think the best place to get the new weather strip is from GM.

My Kooks were $830 and they came with NOTHING but the headers. No y-pipe.

A glass shop should be able to get you the gaskets, if you choose to do them yourself make sure you use plenty of glue. If you don't and they start to lift up you will have to buy another set of gaskets and glue them in again. Apply the glue liberally, set the gasket in and put the ttop back in and latch it down, leave it for 24 hours.

Re: Help w/ Headers

Would you guys recomend a car cover. Because water leaks out of all the nooks and crannies. I also dont have a garage. How much would a nice durable car cover set me back. NOT THE CHEAP JUNK???
