#Mustang #FordMustang #Zander13
I did the Kooks. I thought it was the hardest car mod I have ever done... Next time I will pay someone. I have a lift and can not imagine doing this from jack stands. Much appreciation for everyone that does this job from jack stands. The ESS SC was way easier in my opinion; I did that in a day. The Headers took 2 weekends and lots of cursing.
My first time was hard but 14 headers later it’s not bad at all lol
Never spent alot for headers. My old gen 1 had cheap bbk headers and my gen 3 has stainless power. Never had an issue with either. All the brands literally sound the same and minimal power difference if any. Catless/catted, midpipe and muffler choice is what changes sound. Only thing you paying extra for is the quality.
best of both worlds when you buy high quality expensive headers used
Kooks Screams quality… and they’re made in Statesville , North Carolina. Dedication to their product says it all. HI-Tech people… that have high tech experience ….doing a great job. Their facility is located About an hour away from my location. I only hear good things about them here in my state!💯😎
I live about 1.5 hrs south of Statesville. A friend did a welding test/ job interview with Kooks! He had nothing but good things to say about the company, and the quality products.
Unfortunately if you live in Cali, headers make no sense. Having to remove them for smog every couple years negates any hp increase.
They’re all great but Kooks is 100% worth it! Fitment is perfect! I have them paired with my corsa xtremes on my 21 GT.
My concern with the TSP headers would be that those welds would crack over time and cause a major exhaust leak, the kooks just looks like quality
If we're going off of just weld quality the TSP look much better than the kooks around the collector. Looks like the kooks were welded without enough argon flow on the torch or welded too hot. With the tubing as thin as this the welds will long outlast the tubing itself. I have heard tsp fitment really is a pain and shifting the engine on the motor mounts is a must. So the kooks are one of the best in that regard.
Kooks are the best way to go. Hands down, no discussion. I even get complements from the 👮♀️ 😂
Thank you so much for making such in-depth videos. I have basically the same car as you, with the same ESS kit (in a box in my garage) and literally header researching right now. Planning to go with Wengerd for the tune and always watching the HPR channel too. You all put out very practical and relatable content. Please shoot as much video as possible on everything you do, I'll be watching and likely doing the same. Thanks again.
Thanks. Sounds like we got twin cars. You will love the wengerd tune. His drivability is amazing. Kooks is top notch 100%. Just don’t over pay for them. I got lucky and found mine for $1400
I went with Kooks. Very happy with them.
Both high quality. But I’ve used Kooks many times and always top notch. That’s what I’m going to putting on my 19. 👍
American racing headers
I was always wanted to go with tsp but thinking about just going with kooks now the quality is whats changing my ming.
I run JBA on my 19 and couldn’t be happier
I think I’m going w JBA as well. Seem to be better than Texas Speed & Speed Engineering and not much more expensive then the SE LTH
Can't wrong with Kooks, I however just had some Stainless Power installed and I'm happy with them. Fit great and the sound with my H-pipe and Roush axle back is insane. Plus I had the headers Cerakoted so they look tits.
Did you have to do any adjustment or bends for the fitment? I’m really on the edge of SP and Texas speed
@@5.Sloliveros No, they fit fine. Cleared the steering ack and A/C line on the pass side. Close but nothing hits. I thought I read the Texas speed are not as good of quality anymore but I could be wrong.
@@RidinONChrome appreciate it brother!! have them coming in tomorrow and getting tune hopefully next week 🙏🏽
Have you heard anything about Ultimate Headers? They have cast 321 stainless flanges and primaries. The collecters look really nice.
KOOKS headers VS CORDA headers GO !!!!!!!!!!!
My question for You is 'which flange to cylinder head gaskets are the best'? I'm planning on installing my TSP headers with some GESI convertors and don't want any leaks at the cylinder head.
Kooks 🔥🔥🔥
What about the type of material it is. Stainless steel vs ceramic
Since you have previous Hands-on experience with ARH and the Kooks long tubes. Which do you recommend?
Hard to say. Both are top tier quality. Might come down to price and best deal bc they are both excellent honestly.
nice, i'd like to see what the resonators sound like. Are you going with catless connection pipes?
Can’t find catless from any of them anymore for 21+ GT or F150😢
This request might be a long shot but install Kooks and do a sound test and install TS and do a sound test.
Nah. They would both sound the same
Great comparison! 💪💪💪
Thanks
I just picked up a 23 Mustang GT myself, whichever one you don’t go with, I’ll take the other set off your hands, serious, just let me know $$, in North Texas. Thanks.
The already sold unfortunately
Great Video. Which Kooks Header Part number did you use?
Are you going to tune it before you put the super charger on it or wait ?? And which header is easier to put on ??
Going with kooks. I will have wengerd tune it once blower is on
What about ARH
They are top notch
Ultimate headers 🚨
Kooks for the win!
Texas speed. It's the length and shape. For power.
are you installing the ess kit or having HPR install it?
Not sure yet
Did you get the catted or green catted?
I have an inside hook-up for stainless works products, how is the fitment and quality?
Stainless power is similar to Texas speed
Thinking of getting the kooks.. when I order these will it be a complete bolt on to the awe touring cat back? Or will I need anything else.?
Complete bolt on
@@Zander13Productions thank you 🙏
How are you not covering the king daddy of headers Ultimate Header?
Never heard of ultimate headers
Of all the headers youve installed, which brand had the easiest install? Im particularly asking for a 2011 5.0 job aka my own car 😂 thanks for the video
Kooks
@@Zander13Productions good to know, thank you
@Zander13Productions what about LTH brand? I've been sworn too that they install better than kooks. I doubt that it's 'better' but if it's super comparable it's worth it I think, and I like their titan coating as well. Any feedback would be great
On and other video this guy removed is longtube and replaced them with the kooks and gain 21hp with a centrifugal blower he on prayer the swap longtube header.😊
👀
is it better to use the oem gaskets instead of the kooks
Either or. Both are good
KOOKS 👍
I just took the 4 bolts out of the AC compressor
😬
@@Zander13Productions really wasn’t bad at all💪🏼
Kooks ✊
where should i order kooks?
Save money on them at HPR. Ask to use the zander13 discount here hprautomotive.com/pages/contact
What size are they? 1 3/4 , 1 7/8, 2in?
1 7/8
Kooks easier to install and a better header
With 🐈 🐈
Any headers that are cables and cost a grand are over priced. 2m fabs make the same shit on jigs out of t304 stainless steel and get it with all your gaskets, bungs, and extensions for $600. Fuck all these big names with inflated egos
Where are these headers sold?
Alex great video Brother!!! Definitely going with the Kooks headers. I have always been a fan of American Racing headers. They are expensive just like the Kooks. I ordered a Dark Horse and will be installing the Kooks headers this time. The comparison side by side was awesome. Did you consider Sport Cats to gain more HP? I will go with the Corsa double H-pipe for the mid-pipe and Borla S-pipe or AWE for the exhaust keeping my AE FORD exhaust option.
Blessings to you Bro. I am also a veteran; retired Fighter Pilot of 34 years. 👍❤️😎🇺🇸✝️
Kooks for the win!!!
Great video, sir. I went with kooks just because of the quality. Now, kooks with the corsa extreme is crazy loud.
I've owned several mustangs since I was 16yrs old, still have my first one, but that's another story. I've installed just about every header known over the years.
I was a loyal kooks headers and exhaust since the early 2000s they are one of the best in my book. But in 2016 when I bought my first gt350 I tried something new to me, Stainless Works.
Man let me tell you I've been hooked ever since, they have the quality of kooks a bit more expensive, but wow. The full redline system, headers and exhaust is unbeatable. Kooks is a close second Stainless Works to me, anything other than these 2 are child's play.
I've put Stainless Works on my 20 gt350r and 22 gt500 the sound the hp I love it. I'm in the process of a total ground up rebuild of my first mustang, (bought before they were a classic) I asked Stainless Works to build a custom full exhaust it gonna be exciting.
@Anthony Glass
No not one issue, my tuner oh he's good.
I love my Kooks Headers! Yeah they are a premium price, but the quality shows.
💯
Cat deletes ftw
280$ from 2m
And like if a 3hp difference
I’ve beat several long tube header cars
Seems they lack low end tq compared to cat deletes
American racing is where it’s at
Kooks are really nice and so are BBK which is why they outsell Kooks as they are more affordable and with a side by side there literally only the slightest difference so absolutely not paying nearly $2k more for Kooks. To each their own.Great video.
I installed a set of kooks long tube catted headers on my 21 mustang gt, and had a few complications. Check engine light came on stating catalyst efficiency low, car did not have a engine light on prior to install of headers. Tuned the car through automafia racing to 91 octane, and it is still on. Also i have a very wierd slight tick sound that comes when i accelerate, kooks comes with a locking hardware set, and im unsure if the hardware washer is vibrating causing this ticking noise. Has anyone else experienced this?
i chose not to install the locking hardware. just make sure the locks have no play so there is no rattling
Kooks for quality all day!
I ended up getting the stainless works ones for my truck since i got a free tune revision since I went with them. I've had them for almost two years now and have enjoyed them the entire time.
Texas are the loudest.
Dumb comment lol
Did you do cat or catless and I know tuning company’s won’t tune for a check engine light for catless. What’s the work around for the check engine light?
I have Texas Speed with their high flow cats. ECU was throwing an inefficient cat code. Installed spark plug anti foulers on the downstream O2 sensors. Problem sollved.
i installed defoulers from bigdaddiesgarage 90 degreee. they are on the rear 02 sensors. they worked but i dont know if they will pass inspection. heard from another guy that his engine light was off but the o2 sensor monitor was reading " not ready" i dont know if you expereinecd this as well @@gregd6404
Great video Z. I could t decide between these two headers Kooks has me sold the quality 👍✌️
Looking forward to seeing if kooks are worth waiting for the savings 😫🤩 can’t wait ! Best of luck
I really want to install the kooks on my 2019 gt but I am from San Diego California I don’t know should I risk it 😅
...you could move out of California. That would solve many more problems than just a set of headers.
I have the Kooks on my 22 GT and they are so loud! Cold start is the loudest I have ever had. When I pass a car and really get on it, it screams! My 15 GT had Roush axle back and she was very loud. I do miss the Roush sound, my 18 GT was just a X pipe install, I had active exhaust. My 22 GT has active exhaust, but maybe down the road I will get the Roush active exhaust, I just don't know if I want to spend the money. I am not super charging my car, I never keep them long enough to get my money back out of them. We have the 20 GT500, one super charged car is enough and my daily is turbo charged, so I will leave my GT natural, with my E85 flex tune and the other things my guy did, I am at 486 HP to the wheel, that is enough for me! I am so glad that my guy talked me into Kooks, they are pricey, but worth it!
Same here with the Kooks long tubes. The moron I bought the car off had these Long Tubes, race mid pipes and MBRP race exhaust. A Coyote straight pipe is god awful. Oh, I have a D1-X Procharger (which I couldn’t hear over the exhaust). The cold starts would blow my pictures off the garage walls. I ripped everything out but the long tubes and installed the stock exhaust. Yup, Stock resonator and mufflers. Had to do it.
@@joepisciottajr Yep, I still have my mufflers, I am getting older and I like it loud, but not so loud it hurts my ears, cold start is the only issue, but it only lasts a minute.
who are you tuned by? I have a 22 gt aswell & have the basically the same plan not supercharging it but definitely wanna be running on E & some long tubes
@@that10speed5oh Here locally a guy, Martin, used to work at Palm Beach Dyno, he moved back to Louisiana, so he is the new tuner guy in town for the stangs. If I were you, contact Palm Beach Dyno, they are the best. Martin installed my Long Tubes, Caster and Camber Plates, Keltrac Posi Locks, a GT350 steering wheel, and the custom tune, with the flex fuel and he changed my rev points. My car is better than the GT350 that I had. Not better than the GT500, because it is a GT500! I did lose the heating steering wheel, but so worth it, the stock steering wheel is just too big and I missed the flat bottom. I love my car, I just wish it had Recaro seats, I had them in my 18 GT and my 19 GT350, but could not find a GT with everything that I wanted, I got it loaded with magneride, but no Recaro's. Good luck!
@@cajunqueen1971 Where in Louisiana? I live in Baton Rouge and never heard of Martin. Only people around me is Preux tuning and Stang hi.
I'd go with the Kooks headers.
Bro great video ! Keep it up homie !
Looking to do headers soon, thanks for the video 💪🏼
🤘
Did you find one you liked? @tyler
I have kooks on my 15 gt and tsp headers on my 2020 gt and I definitely think the kooks are worth the extra money. The main issue for me with the tsp headers is that rattle/chatter noise.
Yes. That tinny metal noise is a non issue on the kooks. 100% agree. I’m a true believer now lol
KOOKS hands down better quality and will not have to be replaced because of inferior quality stainless steel tubing that can burn through! Thank You for the great content. 🇺🇸🇵🇷🦊👍 P/S KOOKS stand by their products!
Do you need a tune after installing long tube headers? I've seen a lot of contradicting posts about it and how it can lead to problems due excessive air, I think its called "running lean". Also, will this void the warranty or just the header warranty? Also a lot of contradicting information out there.
I see you’re moving full speed ahead for Ford Takeover. I’m a TSP guy, I prefer the longer primary’s for those 8k shifts, but Kooks and the rest all do the job needed for the ESS 😄
😉
@@Zander13Productions see you at Ford Takeover….
@@boosted10speed 💪
Nice video, brother! I just installed Kooks Long tube headers on my 2021 Mach 1. The only problem I had was steering shaft hitting header on driver side when i turn a hard right. I'm trying to figure out how to correct that issue. Kooks are loud with corsa x pipe and factory exhaust.
Kooks. What you pay is what you get. My second choice was AR. TS never bothered, it feels cheap and looks cheap.
I herd Kooks are a True 4 into 1 header only 1 Apporved by Nascar & ther short too bc they sit 1/8in.higher than others do from the ground
Guy near my area has 400 long tubes and he makes the same power as others that paid 1500-2400 for LT's
I installed kooks in my 2006 mustang I never graded it long tubes with high flow cats with some Corsa cat bags the car sounds amazing ran great good horsepower. Kooks definitely high-quality I paid quite a bit for them but never regretted it
Who’s got a link for the kooks header?
hprautomotive.com/pages/contact and ask for Zander discount
what about a side-by-side comparison to ARH and Kooks?
So i got kooks and car is really raspy now. Will the resnators kill some of that rasp
Stainless work are the best!
Forget the TX Speed Chinese headers. Kooks made in US in NC
Where can we buy a set of cooks or texas speed headers yall?
Is 1 o2 extension all you need with the TSP headers? Or you need to get a second one ?
Can’t believe there’s actually people excusing spending 1,500-3000 for a set of headers💀💀 I’ve installed dozens of eBay headers on Gm cars and Fords and not a single issue either with quality or fitment, for 200-300max but hey to each their own
you get the quality you pay for lmfao.
@@Lando_5oh what quality? Lmafoo they literally serve the exact same purpose last just as long, but I see you’re one of those that got bent over with a set of 2k headers💀
Did you get the hiflow cats with the headers
Thinking of installing long tube headers...then says " I am kinda maybe getting a little older!!" It's like putting long shots on your Harley and riding with earplugs in. I think we both know that loud doesn't mean fast and irritating rasp is just obnoxious after age 40!! Walk softly and carry a BIG stick!!!
I installed the resonators today with the headers. It’s amazing. All the power with no obnoxious raspy sound
Yall dont need to waste 1500+ on long tubes.
Dude, your videos are just too much talking. Thought we were going to see a fitment or horsepower comparison. I have an Oxford White Procharged 2020 GT with Long Tubes and really wanted to see the Texas Speed headers on the car.
Yea. I’m not going to install both sets and dyno both for 5k views on youtube and make $30 off a video. Not worth it honestly
✋ hands down kooks
I have full exhaust on my gen 1 ,I got the corsa sports but they are to loud ,I was thinking about getting some resonators to dial back the sound level
Watch this video for resonators m.ua-cam.com/video/C-zTmOWr8Ls/v-deo.html&pp=ygUIemFuZGVyMTM%3D
Many thanks :)
I would buy a Kooks
texas 🤦🏻♂️
Texas speed for me .
They are very good
Any opinions on American Racing Headers on Corsa Extreme???!
its all the same bro, Kooks, ARH, Corsa, Texas speed, and stainless works are all good brands. Kooks and corsa probably the best. but they all sound the same as long as they are 1/7/8
Great video really informative looking like kooks is definitely the way to go 👍
🔥🔥
I may have missed it but what size are your Kooks headers?
1 7/8
Getting kooks with their green cats next month.
🤘
How was the Kooks install vs the Texas speed?
Way easier
Love the build! I found some used Kook headers. $800 shipped. Good deal or not?
800 shipped is a steal. Are they 1 3/4 or 1 7/8?
@@Zander13Productions 1 7/8 non catted
THE BOSS IS BACK 🔥
