Kooks vs ARH vs JBA

[nickpohlaandp]

If I had a time machine I would go back and stop myself from wasting my money on JBA !

I second this motion. Someone find me Doc Brown and Marty McFly!!!

I bought a set of JBA headers like a year ago and have never installed them... I have been thinking of selling them and getting the ARH.

I'd go kooks. I have the ARH 1.75s however.
But I wouldn't discount kooks.

Really....is just bent metal. As long as the sst is of decent grade, fitment good there likely isn't a huge HP difference either.

The ARH of mine came with 02 extensions, gaskets, high flow cats, y pipe and the necessary clamps and such. Fit well.

I'm sure kooks gives you all the same??

From what I can tell, NO. Headers are around $1100 stainless uncoated. Then you have to pay another $800 for catted pipes or $600 for uncatted. I used AutoAnything for the price comparison with Matt's ARH prices. To make matters worse, Kook's clearly states you MUST buy their Y pipes with the headers to fit. So, It appears to me these headers are by far the most expensive of the bunch. If it were my money, I wouldn't pay this, but rather go to ARH since everything is included already at a better price.

Kooks arent that much more, and use a proprietaty connection between header and y-pipe. Also kooks place the primary tubes in cylinder firing order, which basically sucks out the exhaust... Science!!! Im not sure if ARH does or doesnt, ive never gotten or found an answer to that. If ARH does then they are pretty much equal and up to the buyer. If not then that is one reason why i personally will go with kooks even though more expensive

Just finished my arh install today, i have to say im extremely impressed with the fitment and performance of them. I was really surprised how easily the y pipe dropped in and lined up!

$1600 is a lot of money tho...
