Default KOOK OR DYNATEC Headers

I was talking to the folks at CORSA today, I asked them about adding headers with my Corsa Sport Exhaust kit, and they recommended KOOK and DYNATEC. My question is has anyone used these yet? How do they compare to the Pacesetters that everyone here swears by? Not trying to start a flame war here just curious?

if im not mistaken, i dont think kooks makes headers for our trucks, i hear damn good things about dynatech though, and also pacesetter, pacesetter is the best band for the buck, and only 550 for the headers and ory, by the way where did u purchase your corsa exhaust at and how much was it??

I talked to the guys at KOOK this afternoon also. He is currently working on R&D for the 2006 Chevy's as we speak. He told me to call back at the end of the month and they would have the DYNO work done on them, and probley be ready to ship. I actually purchased the Corsa through the dealership where I bought the truck. I was going to go with a magnaflow setup, but they convinced me that Corsa was the only one that Chevrolet actually backs with their warrenty. And since I just dumped $30,000 I fell for it hook line and sinker. It was $900 installed, but there was another shop in town that was $800.00 so they matched that price. I dont have the equiptment to do it myself, so I had to pay to have it done. Worked out well, they had everything on my truck, and ready for me right after I signed the papers for it! I am very happy with it, and their customer service!

I think the Dynatechs are of superb quality! They come with everything needed for a direct bolt on system. No fabricating needed! Even comes with an 02 sensor wire extension.
I'd just stick with the tried and true!

I dont know man. Looks like they may do it.

Kooks stepped headers work awesome with juice. For the N2O minded..... Dynatech makes no stepped header to my knowldege.

Basically the header tubes start out at a smaller diameter and half way down they increase the header pipe size. Though I only think it goes from 1-3/4" then to 1-7/8". It helps the exhaust gases to veturi out. Kind of like it pulls out the gases when it hits the larger pipe section.
Though it will depend on demand if they will even offer a stepped header for the trucks. they may just make the headers one tubing size though.
