I finished throwing my Kooks headers and midpipe on a couple weeks ago, so if you've got any questions while the memories are still fresh, lemme know.

Which headers are you installing?

Here is a good one http://www.2005stang.com/gallery/alb...ks_Install.pdf

EDIT: I didn't notice until after my post, its the same one as posted above, just in a PDF format. Either way, its a good write up.

quick question...why cant you reuse the OEM manifold studs? When I did shorties on the 4.0, I never even touched 'em. All I had to do was remove the nuts, slide the mandifolds off, replace gasket, slide shorties on, tourque nuts back down and done.

whats the deal? it seems like a extra step to me...

LOL, that PDF is from my gallery. Glad to see it getting some use. Grabbed jjmt's thread and combined it.

goldenglory, it depends which headers you're installing. They should come with new bolts, I know the Kooks did.
