Best headers for s550 running E85

[Unvaxxed]

The vastness of Kooks headers is not in the quality difference, but in the price. Don't get me wrong, they make great stuff, but there is no descernible difference between Kooks, Stainless Works/power, Texas Speed, Ultimate Headers etc. They all fit great, they all use 304 stainless.

Absolutely no difference between Kooks and Texas Speed...

That's what I said. From a fitment and performance perspective, your car won't know the difference, but for sure your wallet will. The Stanless Power and Ultimate headers are just as good as the Kooks stuff. Texas Speed - probably a step down

Don't waste the money. Stick with the OEM header and catalytic.

If you ever want to boost your car, make sure you account for new cats every 5000 miles.

And that’s the runner up dual wound metallic substrate. Jump into the Tri-wound HJS and the number goes up.

The OP didn’t mention Boost just E85.

I went with the 2" Stainless Works catted, with exhaust X pipe and Legend series mufflers. I spent too much money. No regrets though it sounds fantastic.

That's "waycool"

The 2" ones require some a/c work to make them fit

2in ARH fit good with no issues on my 2016.

I didn't know by experience, was just parroting what I had read on the LTH site when I was looking into them. Good to know

Damn... I bought the wrong headers, LTH want's $1700 for the catted midpipe! More than the $1000 I paid for the headers..

As for boosting the stock cats. My 2018 had a Roush P2 put on it at 2,000 miles. Melted the cats at 7,000 miles. Traded the car at 14,000 miles for a 2019.

The 2019 got the same Roush P2 kit installed at 700 miles. Headers went on at 1,000. Melted a ringland (or so I was told) at 20,000 miles. Dealer denied warranty but Geico paid for the new motor due to selling me Mechanical Breakdown Coverage. They told me I had to put the cats back on. Got the car back 6 months later and within a week, less than 200 miles later, I melted the cats. Glad the dealer covered them under the warranty they voided!

Either way, I think LTH advertises the same brand you posted. $1700!!!!!! Oh.. Shit.. I need to look at your post again, that's probably for one cat... Mathing is hard today.

eh? That's a neat trick! I figured they would have given you a rental car and tow, not a whole new engine!
