Kooks LT's people who actually have them - please advise...?

You want the bottleneck eliminator or 3" connection (each vendor calls it something else). Or have the exhaust shop modify it

I want to connect the header to the 3" catback so I guess the same pipe as on the picture but without the bottleneck part?

Right, something like this.

If someone can help with the O2 sensor adapter JiC I get a CEL

I bought the Big Daddies CEL fix. It’s an angled adapter and a mini cat, and so far I haven’t gotten a CEL with my headers.

Been doing some research into these as they are pricey to get them up here to Canada so wanna make sure it's all good before pulling the trigger.



As for fittment; according to one video I saw they fit fine HOWEVER there is a very slight mod for Dark Horses (regular GT are fine)

"When you are putting on the Kooks headers there was a very slight rubbing on my steering shaft, only when making a 25 degree right turn, going over a bump, I felt it rub the steering shaft a little bit".

The way this was solved was "I pulled the steering shaft and just shaved the edge down ever so slightly cause it will rub when you take a turn and hit a bump at the same time".



And WHERE to get them coated; I'm not so concerned about looks since you can barely see them installed HOWEVER having driven a Roush supercharged Mustang for a couple of years I would love to avoid heat soak as much as possible lol

Shit I’m having this same problem on my DH with the steering column. but I’ve had the car for like 2 months driving the shit out of it and it just started. Took to the dealership and they told me that was it too. Didn’t know if I believed them. Picking up sat.

anyone else having rubbing issues with the KOOKS on a DH?

any other solution than shaving down the steering column?? SOB!

This is the exact treason I asked the question in the first place - I personally don't want to deal with that BS and wanted to weed it out ...

I'm pretty sure you need a front plate in all of the provinces and territory's you do in BC.

Not in Alberta, we got rid of that dumb law a couple decades ago.
