I've only spoken to one shop about this so far and the guy there said the Kooks are the best on power gains. Whether that's true, I don't know. Either way, you'll definitely get a much more aggressive sound with LT's. Ken Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ken not what i have hard but then again i went with a full system so its alittle different then just doing headers alone. we'll see when it gets dynoed in a few weeks(hopefully) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You could keep your axle backs I suppose, but I wouldn't recommend it if you're looking for a more aggressive sound. I've decided on the Kooks long tubes and 3" x-pipe to mate up to my FRPP mufflers. I'm sure that the JBA system is great too. Ken Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shelbytexan Posted March 22, 2009 Report Share Posted March 22, 2009 I've got the JBA shorty's and i couldn't tell much difference in sound or power. If i had it to do over then i would go long-tube. JBA or Kooks are great quality as they should be on account they certainly aren't cheap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The LT's are expensive, but you get what you pay for (usually). Ken Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shelbytexan Posted March 22, 2009 Report Share Posted March 22, 2009 I'll just keep what i got on account my headers are ceremic so at least they look good. With long-tubes i would probably gain another 10 h.p. or so and that is certainly not worth it for 1500.00 to 2000.00 to redo.

I've learned that the shortys aren't worth the box they came in, so I'm planning on living with long tubes in the near future. Ken Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I installed SLP long tub headers in my SGT then I saw the Kooks installed on the same K member I used (BMR) and If I had it to do over again I'd buy the Kooks.

Ken +1 I had narrowed down to either Kooks or ARH and went with the ARH over the Kooks for no peticular reason other than I saw a set of ARH headers being installed at my shop and was impressed with the fit and quality. Both are pricey but you do get what you pay for. http://www.americanracingheaders.com/homepage.htm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
