Just wanted to post a pic of the old Kooks vs the New Kooks. Over the past few years the changed the design.

very nice, i will be replacing my mac 1 5/8 headers with those-i 7/8 with a 3.5 collector correct?-do they make a h pipe to fit those, congrats on the new headers

Since I am just going 3" all the way since it is a street car I just went 1-7/8" to 3". Pretty sure Kooks does make a 3.5" that does with their 1-7/8" x3.5". IF you drop your car off they will make you anything you want.

not a fan of the ball and socket.

I realize that if you didn't install them yet (how's the healing going?) you can't tell for sure, but is the new design supposed to, or do you think, they will not be as low when installed as the old design?

Mine are the 1 5/8" and they are the lowest part of the car. Looking at their design, and the room above them, I rekon if laid out/bent differently, they could be raised up some.

I will need a larger diameter set for the new build, and would like to stay with Kooks, but have been also looking at others to address this issue.

Nice, I have the old. The slip fitting at the collector never would seal and always had leaks. Had it hacked off welded from the inside and the collector welded back on. Now I'm fighting an exhaust leak in 1 of the 2 front cylinders on the lt. bank.

[GodStang]

GodStang - How much do you want? My Mac LTs have a huge hole in them.

Get em on!!! they are a PITA, I put a old set of 1 7/8ths on my car. Then took them right off lol. If I get the mod itch ill do a nice set of the new style 1 3/4.

So how low do the new style hang down?

sadly i am going through this now. i have a leak and i'm 99.9% sure it's where you are describing... i know it sounds ghetto but i was contemplating popping that tube out and using high temp gasket sealer. it really takes away from the nice exhaust note in my car, it's driving me insane...

They are on ROSS, my old 1.750's fit like a glove even with the stock k member....

I'm getting ready to buy some bigger long tubes an 3'' inch all the way out.. Taking my 1 5/8th Kooks, and was gonna order 1 7/8 Kooks tomorrow, would like to see this fit and clearance first..

 

[1fastbusa]

I wish they would work on my car with the th400

 

[GodStang]

They fit great but I am running MM full front end. Makes installing so much easier.
