Kooks Headers & Exhaust

Kooks Headers & Exhaust's history started in 1962 when George Kook (Papa Kook) used a blow torch to make his first set of headers for his family race car. Thanks to George Kook Jr, the company's modest achievements have led to the creation of a full-fledge manufacturing facility. Nowadays Kooks provides top-quality exhaust systems and race headers for race, street, and off-road vehicles. The company offers products for early and late model domestic autos.

Kooks has been leading the way in the stainless steel header revolution. It manufactured and tested the exhaust system first; later other companies followed. During 3 generations of family headship, all Kooks products have been crafted in the U.S. and the company still continues to be independently owned and managed. Kooks makes its best to ensure that its products conform to the highest quality standards, and that distinguishes it from the rest.
