Kooks are 304. Shouldn't ever rust.

hey riven, i think yor sig has "axle back" spelled wrong lol


ps what does the k-member brace w/ torque limiters do ?

Riven02

Yeah I spelled Custom wrong also =). Ill fix it when I update it next.


HERE is a post all about the torque limiters. I installed them to fix the binding between 2nd and 3rd gear. As a bonus it functions as an A-Arm support brace.

do you think it was worth the money?

YES< YES<YES

Get the K-member brace..it really does work..

Great pics...Its nice to see those Headers clear the K-member brace with the TQ limiters..

Are the Kooks really worth the price compared to MAC or BBK..which are cheaper...

Also what X/H pie are running with it, where and how much did you pay for the set up.. Thanks.

The K-member was very much worth it.

The Kooks are 304 stainless steel where those others are 409 (I think) so the Kooks should last longer and look much better. Also I read on another forum a person had some issues with the MACs having warped flanges.I have no experience with any other brand though so I cant speak for them personally except for the matierial.

I am using the Kooks X-pipe. It all came as a kit with everything needed (headers, gaskets, bolts, midpipe, 02 extensions, ect.) for 12XX. I can't remember the exact price. I bought them a while ago just didnt have time to do the install. I bought them from Benspeed. He matched a price that was being run from another company at the time.

If anyone is interested in long tube header installation instructions I have them from many brands. I read them all before I began my install just to find out the best method. Listed below are the ones I have and I can email them to anyone who would like to have them.

Dynatech

How to Article from Mustang Monthly
Kooks (which suck)
A PDF I put together from a guy's install of the Kooks that I found online.
Ford shop manual documents for the removal/install of the stock manifolds

They all differ a little and I did not follow a certain one all the way through, but the Dynatech seemed to be the best.

Probably too late by now, but yea, cut that little tab off. I had to do the same thing.
