Kooks and stainless works headers install question
I have narrowed down my header selection to the 1 7/8 KOOKs or Stainless works.
DO you have to remove the steering shaft to install either of these headers? I would really like to avoid doing that if possible. |

But do you have to remove the bolt? KOOKs headers have some type of leak proof collector gasket system thingy I am to understand as well. I am leaning the Kooks direction. I will have the coin next week.

Just ordered 1 7/8 KOOKs (had them on my Pontiac G8 GT and LOVED them) with high flow cats and gasket. Shipped yesterday ! Can't wait to get them and put them on. $1200 for everything including shipping felt like a great deal.

Kooks uses a ball & socket connection at the collector.

Thanks!! I get it now. I assume there is no gasket at all. More like a compression type of fitting. At least it makes sense to me that way. So how is this better or worse than the slip in clamp connection the stainless has? |

I've have Kooks on my car and was easy to install. No leaks with the ball/socket connection. I helped a friend install ARH which use a slip fit connection and the were no leaks on his car either.

I have the SW headers and I did remove the shaft bolt to make things as easy as possible. No leaks here either.
