So I figured I’d just put this up for fun. I don’t remember ever seeing a side by side difference of the headers laid out next to each other so here it is!

Never liked how my KOOKS passenger side header flange was at a 45 degree angle instead of parallel to the chassis like the driver's side....:dunno:

Looking at it now, it looks like the KOOKS were fabbed up by a drunk!

KOOKS were the 'only game in town' back in 2004.

LOL....where are the shorty headers in this discussion?

Either set of headers would be a big improvement over the OEM cast iron manifolds!
Installing them is the hassle.

Awww crap! I still have the Cobra shorty POS headers somewhere too! I could have thrown those in the pic lol. Those cracked all over the place. Garbage isn't worth the steel they're made of.

You got that right, I had mine welded like three times before I installed SW headers on my blue car. The latest version of SW fit great, way better than the Kooks on my DD.
 
Had mine installed for $385!!!

Most places quoted $800. [emoji1320]

WOW!
Super deal there!
Either that shop was being very nice....or very stupid.

I remember wrestling with my KOOKs headers for the better part of a weekend!
I used every type of socket, universal, extension, and wrench in my roll-away.
Had to rest often to drink a cold beer* and wrap my bleeding hands & knuckles.

*Sole purpose of the cold beers was to soothe my raspy throat from all the cussing and screaming that I was doing at the headers....honest.

Haha, I think both! It was a friend of mines shop who Her brother runs. They mainly work on Ford Diesel Trucks but they said they've done it b4! The nuts came right studs and I had all the connecting leads to bolt up to factory exhaust. They broke the EGR but I deleted it afterwards. Still happy!
