kooks headers

[imblown-ru]

I am looking into buying some Kooks longtube headers for the mustang, but there are like 5 different sizes and im not sure which ones i need to get...

1 5/8" x 2 1/2"
1 5/8" x 1 3/4" x 3"
1 3/4" x 3"
1 3/4" x 1 7/8" x 3"
1 3/4" x 1 7/8" x 3 1/2"

too many numbers! what do these mean, and which ones do i need for my car equipped with mods in sig. thanks alot!

go to their web-site. they have forums. tell them what you want out of your car (DD, Street/Strip, Full Strip) and they will hook you up.

the sizes are primary tube diameters and collector tube diameters i believe.

Great Choice on Kooks (although they dont come ceramic coated ) they are expensive as hell but man are they nice

ok i will jump on their forums...is anyone on here running them? My sponser pays for 55% of the cost sooo they are less expensive then what most people pay for a regular set of lts. thanks guys

any chance you're sponsor would believe you need to buy "2" sets of LT's?

not many guys around here run them bc of the cost. they'd much rather spend $500 on a set of BBK's and spend the other $300+ on something else, which makes sense for most of us on a limited budget. but if you got the money then by all means, Kooks makes the best headers around IMO. plus you dont need to remove them to change the clutch on our cars.

i will read my contract and see what i can get around haha. I just made a video for a guy with a s/c z06 and he had kooks headers and borla cat back and it sounded soooooo siickkk so i want them now. thanks

I have heard that Kooks headers do not require removal if you need to yank your tranny. Other than that, why do you say they are nice?

 

[hotmustang331]

Suppedly you have to use their midpipe. That not removing the tranny thing comes with a cost. You might as well go with a full tubular K and coilovers while your there. Also may want to change the clutch too if you havnt already.
Do you have to have a big sticker on your car that says their name?

 

[imblown-ru]

i have 2 1x7'' stickers, but im not sponsored by kooks

i got to fondle a set off of a Camaro last year. the quality of the welds, craftsmanship and overall fit and finish was obvious even to me. i mean what else do you want to know, they were just very high quality headers, hence the high cost. i cant spit out any dyno #'s because i dont know how they compare to others. if you're just building a bolt-on street/strip stang, then you could go with a more cost effecient brand such as BBK and be fine. but if you're building a performance minded track/strip car, then i can see why lot of racers ante up the extra dough.

and no, you do not need to remove them to change the clutch or remove the tranny.

they are some good looking headers

if you read the message board at kooks, the owner is saying baselines have shown the headers to pick up 20-25 hp on a n/a gt

How much are they again?

$800+. if i had the money and a sponsor paying 55%, i'd buy them too.

$800???? Fergetaboutit. For that price they should be made of platinum.

they are top of the line. you get what you pay for. for most of us, a set of BBK's for $500 will be just fine on our daily driven street/strip stangs. but for a race car, (especially if you have a sponsor willing to pay over half the cost) Kooks are the way i'd go.
