Kooks Headers

ABOUT KOOKS HEADERS

More than six decades of American header and exhaust development rooted directly in drag racing.

Kooks Headers & Exhaust traces its story to 1962, when George 'Papa Kook' Kryssing used a gas torch to build a better set of headers for his family race car. The results attracted other racers, and a business was born. More than six decades later, Kooks remains closely tied to racing while producing American-made stainless headers and exhaust systems for modern performance vehicles. The brand's longevity matters: it has spent generations learning how primary design, collectors, tubing and exhaust layout affect power, fitment and sound.
