ARH comes with a solution, whatever that bracket is or does. It sounds like Kooks was aware of it and bent the tubes in a manner that do not interfere. I'm a SW owner and I feel like that's part of what you get what you pay for type of thing. The SW are cheaper but you deal with some things like this.
Gotcha
As I stated earlier the issue is SW is selling the same tubes as engineered for the 11-14s. They only checked fitment and made new mid pipes. That is the issue. This was confirmed by their general manager.
ah cool, I missed that. Just falls under the same thing though, instead of developing a brand new product and spending more money on R&D they are keeping costs down by just using the same stuff.
It's just a tiny little bracket that needs to be removed. Not a big deal if you do it while the stock manifolds are out.
Yea I still may do the SW, if I remove the bracket, not taking a chance on grinding it down and ending up with false knock. Ive just about ruled out the SP, Im afraid quality may be poor on them.
This little bracket is the only thing I've heard about being a problem with SW/SP headers. When talking quality headers, it's always Kooks, ARH, and SW that are talked about. Can't go wrong with any of them, but if you wanna save a few hundred and go with the SW/SP, you'll have to take an extra two minutes when you install to remove said bracket.
Yeah I had to use a sawzall on my bracket. It wasn't ideal but it went smoothly enough. A small pipe saw for plumbing works but it will take awhile and is a knuckle buster. It will definitely remedy any knock issues you are having. Unless your 93 is garbage like mine was. This new Flexfuel tune is the shit though.
Cool, will have to try tomorrow maybe. That rattle drives me insane, I wonder if that could cause the low numbers I put on the dyno with my current mods (405). And for gas I typically try to stay with Shell only. I do fill up at an HEB shopping center occasionally, I'm not sure how their quality is though.
Have you been adding oil based on how much you've taken out? I put my JLT separator on the other week, will be checking that as well.
