    Nice comparison. Didn't realize the passenger side of those Kook's looked like that. Yuck.

    Why would Kook's have that spaghetti maze of pipes? Makes no sense....

    Could be Kooks is built for each tube to be a certain length? Or maybe they had some surplus bent tubing they were trying to get rid of?
    It is cheaper to build them with the tubes lined up resulting in all a different random length.
    Would be interesting to have seen a comparison of the flange and how they match up to the ports.
