From what I recall there are only 2 good options, an aftermarket tubular k-member or a 4.6 k-member with custom mounts. I've heard of people using the stock k-member but was told (by a reputable builder) that it will likely lead to poor driveline angles, which leads to vibrations, which lead to premature part failure,........

I think I will probably take it. Would like some pics if possible, when you have time of everything. Do you have down pipes too? Lemme know,..if everything looks good, I can do it whenever your ready.
Thanks for the offer.
PTK kits in my face are taunts from the devil. I can't say no to that,...original or not. Just as long as the collectors look good.

I decided not to run it cause I was going to have to cut a hole in the passenger side strut tower bigger than I would like and ull have to run manual brake setup aswell.
I do have the down pipes but not sure how they fit.
Ill get u some pics of everything later this week.

With any luck, the stock hood wont clear the turbos and he'll have to come up with a creative fix....
