Kooks Long Tube Headers, they need Car for fitment

I contacted Kooks to see if they would be interested in making some long tube headers for the C63. They make one of the best headers for the LS motors, very high quality. They need a car for fitment. Anyone interested in doing this, please respond. Kooks is located in Statesville, North Carolina (1 hour North of Charlotte).

This is great news, Kooks has been around for a long time. I have a friend with Kooks long tubes on his LS1 RX7. There headers are also all reasonably priced, hopefully it'll be the same for AMG cars without the MB tax

Yeah. That's what I was thinking too! I'm pretty excited at this possibility.

Over the years I've had both in this sequence starting in 1969:
1968 Firebird 400 4 speed (1 year old)
1973 Camaro Z28 4 speed (new)
1994 Camaro Z28 6 speed (new)
2001 Camaro Z28 6 speed (3 years old)
2006 Corvette 6 speed auto (new)

Yes, Kooks makes an excellent product. I'd say there were 4 manufacturers of high quality 300 series stainless headers: Kooks, American Racing Headers, Lou Gigilotti, and Stainless Works.

American Racing Headers makes the MHP headers and I'm trying my hardest to get Kooks and Stainless Works to join the fray. Both companies have expressed interest.

Widely used in the vette scene, I have American Racing headers myself, but kooks is just as good in that community. Good thing to see them expand to other platforms.

I really wanna see this happen.. Kooks makes the best headers for LS motors hands down. I had their long tubes on my SS, quality and sound was second to none, reasonably priced too.
