Anybody know if Kooks needs something to be fabricated as well?

I searched left and right and the best I could find while using my suit case was ARH or Kooks. Kooks was more money because of the green cars.

I believe the best bang for the buck is the ARH you just have to deal with the motor mount.

I should have some feedback on the bmr mount installation later next week.

I always heard that doing headers and keeping the rest of the exhaust stock produced an undesirable exhaust note.

Im looking forward to getting your feedback after install.

Also the best part is your in NJ you can hear it in person and decide if you like it.

I had heard that as well regarding the sound with the cats removed and LT's. But I love the sound of the car and everyone else tells me it sounds great as well so I'm happy with it. I don't ever intend on changing anything past the headers so the CSP setup was exactly what I needed. If doing mid-pipes and such I'd probably go Kooks/ARH.

Sweet. I'm up north, Passaic County. Hopefully you're not too far.

So I finally got to install my 2" ARH headers not easy all. Let my correct myself it's simple just time consuming and you have to he really patient.

So know I have a question I noticed a couple things that my ocd doesn't like. Passenger side the headers are really close to the hard brake lines. What are guys doing about that? Also I have read that the coolant lines should be relocated to be between the coolant tank and wheel well. I find that really tight and also the oem lines will be short.

On the Driver side the steering shaft lower bolt like pretty close the the headers. It has about a ¼" gap should I do something about this or should it be fine?

Probably put on some heat shielding around where the headers are close to the brake lines. I wouldn't wanna role the dice with potentially melting through something as important as brake lines.

Any recommendations what type of heat shield I should use?

get the silver or gold reflective adhesive stuff in a roll available at most auto parts stores in the performance section or amazon.

So im not sure which would be the best product yo keep the heat from the brake line. I found these products on Amazon but not sure if there's something better.

I'm going to relocate the wiring harness ( In red) and cover with a Reflective shield. Also the brake line (In blue ) is the line I want to protect.
