Company Summary

Company Overviews

Kooks Headers and Exhaust offers production applications for many late model domestic automobiles. This means that you can get that “custom” header for your early or late model application for a fraction of the cost and have it ship right out to your door step. There is no other header company in the country that can offer you a header for your gas engine truck, while still building handmade custom race headers that are used in applications making over 3,000 horsepower. We pride ourselves in being the pioneers in the stainless steel header revolution and have become the innovators in the exhaust industry as a whole. Kooks designs, tests, and manufacturers it first; then other companies follow.

Kooks is your one stop for every header or exhaust component need. We are capable of mandrel bent tubing services, welding, forming, notching, burning custom flanges, producing specialty collectors and even have our own line of racing mufflers and tips. We are able to do private label work for your exhaust or tube bending needs as well. Please visit our Custom/Specialty page to fill out an application and receive more information.

Solid Manufacturing Job, Decent Benefits
Pros: Kooks offers solid health insurance and a decent 401k match, which is a big plus in the manufacturing industry. There's a strong emphasis on teamwork among production technicians, and I appreciate the stable environment. It's a good place to gain skills in automotive parts.
Cons: While benefits are good, the hourly pay rate for production technicians could be more competitive given the cost of living in Statesville, NC. Opportunities for rapid career progression sometimes feel limited within the manufacturing roles here.
Advice to Management: Consider regularly reviewing and adjusting hourly wages for production technicians to ensure they remain competitive within the Statesville, NC market. Investing in clear career progression paths for manufacturing roles would also boost morale.

Okay flexibility if you're onsite
Pros: They do offer a hybrid model, which is nice. For developer roles, you get two WFH days a week. It's a decent setup compared to fully onsite roles in the San Francisco tech scene.
Cons: The 'flexibility' often meant being in the San Francisco office 3 days a week, no real exceptions. If you're looking for true remote work, this isn't it. Some managers are super strict about the in-office schedule, which can be tough on work-life balance.
Advice to Management: Give teams more autonomy on WFH days. The 3-day in-office rule feels a bit old-school for a growing tech startup. Trust your engineers more.
