KOOKS Lontube users, need answer to question.

[RIDE THE]

Is there any modification need to the headers or will they bolt right up with no banging/massaging needed. I'm used to old street rods and they always need a dent here and there for fitment.

I just want to make sure that they are good to go out of the box before I send
them out to get Jot-Hot coated.

Thanks.:thumbsup:

They should be fine, you're lucky you have access to a lift, it just makes it that much easier to install them. Have fun with the pass side Eric oke: FFS

I just did my dynatechs on Jackstands. Way easy start to finish by myself 8 hours.

 

[Derek2001]

They arent' too bad, It's a lot easier on a lift with a ratcheting wrench for the bottom bolts

 

[RIDE THE]

Thanks. I can get them in no problem, I was more concerned with having to hammer the tubes for any fitment issues????????

 

[SS THiS]

I didn't do the install but by looking at them I don't see no hammering marks on them

 

[htown]

Yeah like stan said have fun with the pass side.

God you guys bitch a lot. Try putting headers in an old 70 Mopar. Some of them you have to install the headers in the engine bay before the engine even goes in. There is just no way to get them in or out with the motor installed.


I was looking at the right side last night and you guys are dead on. It doesn't look like much fun.

 

[htown]

When you get old you tend to bitch a lot:burnout:, putting the pass side on you have to do some moving around with the headers, at first I said the damn thing is not going to fit. Good luck

 

[Derek2001]

Call JJ, i remember there is some trick to doing the passenger side. it wasnt fun to get it in there, but as far as bolting it up it's cake.

The only problem with putting on the Long tubes is the Pass. side. You will need to take the inner fender well out and possible unbolt the heat shield. Who is going to be jet hot coating the headers for you? I need to call and talk with a company that does that and see if they can answer a question I have about what I just found on my header on the drivers side.

Me too! Prob do my over the winter. Drivers side comes right out no prob.... didnt have to take the pass side off last time i was under there

 

[CHUXSVT]

no problems here.

Thanks guys. I called JJ yesterday and he did tell me that there is no banging of the header pipes needed for clearance issues.

He also gave me some tips for installing the passengers side.:thumbsup:

 

[runs2rch]

Its easy. Pull the inner fender no heat sheild removal needed Eric.

 

[Daryl's slow 04]

With the Kooks its better to mount the passenger side thru the wheel well...

 

[NJ SILVERBULLET]

The driver's side just slips right up from the bottom, real easy.

The passenger side isn't that bad either...you just have to remove the RF wheel, then plastic inner fender liner, there is a canister for the A/C towards the front of the engine on the right side that should be moved foward a couple of inches to make life easier. The header just kinda "rolls in" from the fenderwell into position, not very hard at all. I think these were the easiest headers I ever installed...I did mine on a lift, but have seen several guys do it on the ground with jackstands.

I know what you were saying about putting headers in old Mopars...a real PITA...before my L, I drove nothing but Mopars for about 20 years...try shoe-horning a 440 big-block into a '68 Dart.:bash: I hope this helps.

Just like everyone else says, the hardest part is the passenger side.. Removing the fender skirts is a big help.
