Default Yet Another Header Question

Which Long Tubes require the least amount of modification to fit? Id rather not be bashing in tubes or cutting away at the car to make something fit. Ill be on stock k member and stock engine mounts if that makes a difference which to get.

Kooks would probably be the best fit. but they also carry the highest price tag. LPP's are the best youll get both price and fitment wise.

My jethots didn't take any cutting or bending of anything to put it just alot of time. How many miles are on your car because you might want to just do motor mounts while you're there and save you the trouble later

It's got 122k miles on right now. I'm actually pulling the motor out now cause the very rear passenger exhaust bolt broke in the head. So I'm gonna use it as a chance to freshen up the engine and clean things up alot.

Yeah with that many miles the motor mounts will be a must to get the headers to fit right

Where can you buy Jet Hot Headers? I find different brands with jet hot coating but none made by jet hot.

I haven't worked with any other headers, but my Kooks seriously just fell right in. I didn't have to do ANYTHING to make them fit. It was a bigger pain in the *** getting the dipstick tube back in than getting them in.
