Default Dynotech mustang ls swap headers

Any body have any feed back on these. Keep hearing the kooks don't fit great. Would like to hear some feed back on these before ordering.

Thanks

We have a set on a car we are building now they fit great with the AJE K member. The only thing I wish they would have done is make the collector a little lower as the exhaust will run right into the cross member on the drivers side and is very very close to the shifter bracket on the trans.

I think the header running into the cross member is what people are complaining about on the kooks too. How does it fit with the steering shaft?

My Kooks headers were VERY close to the steering shaft and the drivers side header was a few inches from the trans crossmember. I dont think I could have ran exhaust without extensive modifications.

yes love to see the pics also do you have to run a aftermarket a-arm for the dyna tech headers to fit?

One thing I have noticed on the Kooks headers is, they leave a good bit of length on the collector. This could be cut back a few inches i'm sure which leaves more room for the transition towards the humps in the tranny cross member.

I have long tube headers on my 5.0 mustang and the drivers side collector points right at the transmission cross member bracket.
