Cant wait to see this car run at the track again. I love watching him run. Besides the time the nose went into the air and did some suspension damage that I saw.

Yea, and it will be lighter before the summer, as we are racing Cheap Street in The Clash of the Titans, I have a trick narrowed Burkart rear and some carbon fiber parts to add as well as 15x12 inch wheels. Cheap Street has as min weight with the driver of 2800lbs for N/A combos.

That is sweet. I seriously considered selling my Kooks when I was installing them due to the 10hrs spent on the driver side! Now I kinda wish I would have.
Congrats Joe and Amber that car is amazing.

I don't have any problems with the Kooks, as I had good luck with them for a long time, but the American Racing headers seem to fit my combo a little better.

Was this from one 2" primary header to another 2" primary header? I thought that I read somewhere that you guys were running a stepped 1 7/8 to 2in Kooks primary before.

If you have indeed run both (Kooks & ARH) of the 2in headers, is there any advice or warnings that you could give me when installing either of these on an auto car with a tubular BMR KM003 K-member and A/C? I am getting ready to order a set and just want to make sure that I am not going to run into any unexpected issues.

The Kooks were 1-7/8" stepped to 2" with a 3.5" collector, the ARH were straight 2" with a 4" collector.

It was not my intention to start a pissing match between you and Shiznit. I am considering buying a set of 2" hedders and am just trying to see which FIT better. I have serious doubts as to whether or not one of these hedders performs that much better than the other. I just dont want to get into having to do any fabrication or cutting to get them to work in a car with all the accesories and a BMR KM003 Kmember (with motor mount brackets and power stearing).

I think that the Arh fit better on my application, due to the KooKs being very close to my steering shaft, but I don't have ps or motor mounts. I hope Shiznit, knows this is all in good fun. I have no hard feelings with anyone, and I hope he doesn't either. Everyone chooses his own path power adder or not.
