Long tube: Kooks Vs Magnaflow (or anything else)

kapiteinlangzaam · May 22, 2017

I think its headers time.

Car is EuroSpec LHD. I want long tube 1 3/4" with CATS and need to connect to the Magnaflow Tru-X resonator (which I believe is same as stock diameter).

At the moment Kooks seem to be the sensible choice, although im super happy with my Magnaflow Tru-X, so maybe its sensible to stay with them?

Any massive + or - of one over the other, or indeed any other suggestions??

Thanks

Magnaflow doesn't make headers for the 15+ mustangs, and i've never really heard of anyone running their shorties for other cars either. Kooks is great. I'd look at Stainless Works/Power and ARH as well. Just the typical high end headers. Beefcake or Lethal can set you up with great deals.

Ah I was sure I saw some Magnaflow headers in a catalogue some place. Obviously not!!

Does the Netherlands have limit on how loud your exhaust can be like Deutschland?

No. But I don't want insane loud. I have to live with it day to day.

Would fitting a 3" MBRP system to my 2.5" catback have any negative effects?

It will be louder than a stock catback but not by a whole lot at idle. I have the MBRP street and it sounds really good. it is not loud at all unless you get into it. Even cold starts are not to bad. The race version is much louder.

I have the MBRP race on mine and it isn't bad at all. It didn't get a look during inspection. My friend had to add resonators to his magnaflow to get it to pass.

I have Texas Speed headers on mine. They are budget friendly. Few YouTube videos out there on them. Then you just have the question cats or no cats.

Look at ARH. And why not 1 7/8"?

kooks is a great brand along with sw, arh, pypes, etc..

we sell lots of them all, just comes down to budget.

we have pypes, kooks, ready to go and most of the others are usually a week out or less

How are you liking them? Thinking of pickikng up a set when they get the catted leads back in.
