kooks = arh.

kooks are cheaper.

when i got mine they didn't have them for the truck yet, so i got them for the caddy. fit just fine. zero rub issues and the y-pipe bolted up just fine to the factory catback

Thanks for the replies guys. the president of ARH called me after shooting a few emails and convinced me to get them. 1725 shipped. ouch. theyll be here in 7-10 business days. so should my M.I.T. and filter. EXCITED!

headers prob gonna be a bit of a pain to do myself without a lift....anything I should know? torque specs and all that....ill assume its pretty straightforward and the instructions are well laid out, unlike chinese crap.

i went catless as well....will it be a problem driving it around waiting for blackbear to send a retune?

actually Area47, up here they were only 75$ cheaper and dont come with some of the hardware and the o2 extensions according to the only shop that sells them in this area.

And I forgot to ask, what are some good excuses to tell the wife 1725$ is missing? hehehe

I put mine in without even lifting it off the ground. Very smooth install.

Tell her you bought headers for the added Torque which helps your truck keep traction, effectively making it a safer vehicle.

I had an easy time with install even being 4wd. I'm sure you will be happy with your ARH, but I don't know where you get the 75 difference from. I got my Kooks w/catted y pipe (no o2 extensions needed) and 1700 coating for 1200 shipped.

My wife knows better and would just laugh if I told her that. I am better off just doing it and then asking for forgiveness


OP I am looking at ARH here soon also. Let me know how you like them and how easy the install was
