They are the Kooks Jet-Hot coated headers from SCP with Percy aluminum header flange gaskets and stainless steel Stage 8 locking bolts. New motor mounts, oxygen sensor extensions, Flaming River billet steering joint and an EGR delete were part of the install.
The test drive report will have to wait. It's still on the rack. One more bend and weld on the drivers side downpipe, then a front end alignment.
Jibit February 26th, 2006, 02:13 PM you had to extend the o2's too! I thought when they first advertised them that they were direct fits! Nothing needed! I had to extend my o2's and have had a ce light ever since!
1wykdmk8 February 26th, 2006, 02:13 PM Looks good kid. Can not wait to see/hear the difference. What are you using for catalytic convertors?
ratdog442 February 26th, 2006, 02:39 PM I am green with envy, this is the next mod on the list for the 94 mark.
looks like you deleted the cats, any reason?
driller February 26th, 2006, 02:59 PM I am blessed and do not need cats. ;)
1wykdmk8 February 26th, 2006, 03:05 PM No emissions testing down thar in West Vagina? Must be nice. I wanted to hear what it sounded like with your current exhaust setup with cats....but I guess I will only hear it without the cats....oh well. I hafta run cats here in PA, they have emissions testing here. :mad:
98LSC32V February 26th, 2006, 05:18 PM Kooks look like they make good power over the stock manifolds...
ShockTherapy February 27th, 2006, 05:58 AM How difficult was the header install ?
Joeychgo February 27th, 2006, 07:35 AM In short... Its a bitch.

1wykdmk8 February 28th, 2006, 02:37 PM That shiznit sounds NICE!!!! Now I can not wait to see/hear it at the track this year (as long as I still live here in Pittsburgh). But, I know I will hear it this year at Carlisle (especially if this job I am lookin at, being called for, goes thru.....since it is in Harrisburg, and I will be living in Carlisle......:D ).

Look me up, I live in York, and work in Camp Hill. Just a short hop across the river.

You got headers too?
bufordtpisser February 28th, 2006, 03:13 PM You got headers too?
Hoping to get a set on the 94 soon if PennDot gets off of their AZZS.

Ok, not that it is that difficult to do, but I am confused as to how PennDork has sumfin to do wif your header install?

98LSC32V February 28th, 2006, 05:49 PM Sounds viscious, can't wait to see how it does at the track. I'm predicting 102-103mph and mid 13.5-13.6. Good luck Driller!
driller February 28th, 2006, 09:24 PM ... I'm predicting 102-103mph and mid 13.5-13.6. Good luck Driller!
I hope you're right! :D
driller March 2nd, 2006, 11:49 PM BTW, other pics can be seen HERE (http://imageevent.com/driller/headers/). :D
JC1994 March 3rd, 2006, 06:07 PM sounds wicked man!!!! I am running Motorsport shorty headers with dyna tech hi flow cats,custom made X pipe and no mufflers. I wish Kooks headers were available back when I did my exhaust system...:cool: :cool:

The track is 2-1/2 hours away, across the mountains and through all the nasty road salt along the way. :(
Calabrio March 6th, 2006, 12:56 PM What kind of mufflers are you using?
driller March 6th, 2006, 04:52 PM What kind of mufflers are you using?
Nothing fancy, DynoMax UltraFlows, 2-1/2 inch in/out.
MarkOfDeath March 7th, 2006, 07:09 PM clean that thing up and you might get .1 better lol
shagdrum March 14th, 2006, 01:22 PM How hard/ what is involved in the header swap. I am wanting to replace my engine mounts and sway bar and possible header install, but the idea of dropping the engine craddle is more then a little intimidated and I am not sure I have the equipment to do it. Wanna get an Idea of how hard it is.
1wykdmk8 March 14th, 2006, 02:16 PM I makes it WAY easier if you drop the K-member, but you do NOT have to. What you can do is simply jack the motor up with a floor jack and some wood (DO NOT jack up the engine on the oil pan....you will end up needin a new oil pan). Using this method is not as easy as dropping the K-member, but makes alot more room to get the headers in and also being able to get to the bolts/nuts that hold the factory exhaust manifolds in. Also, you can use this method to remove/reinstall the old exhaust manifolds......simply remove the 2 engine mount bolts and jack the motor up.
shagdrum March 14th, 2006, 03:32 PM So if u don't jack the motor up by the oil pan, where do u jack it up by? I thought it would be jacking the engine by the oil pan with the block of wood being used as a pad to protect the oil pan. What do u need to disconnect from the engine if u jack it up to do these mods? What is involved in the K-member method (specifically in reguards to the engine mounts)?
squirell March 15th, 2006, 12:07 PM JP,Sounds wicked !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
driller March 15th, 2006, 01:47 PM JP,Sounds wicked !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
:waving: Sounds better in person Matt. ;)
95Marklll(Kingcobra) March 19th, 2006, 07:36 PM When I do my exhaust I want to have no cats because were I live theres no emmision checks, hell yeah, Can I keep the old maniflolds and get rid of the cats because it looks like there 1 piece welded together can I just cut them off were the meet the manifold, Im on a tight budget and I cant afford to do the whole header thing,lol. Sounds great though very nice...

how much power gain did the kooks headers yeild? or what do they claim?
driller March 27th, 2006, 12:44 PM I'm not sure what the claim is, I would conservatively guess 15 HP or more depending upon the exhaust paired with it. Remember the factory 'dual exhaust' LSC is rated 10HP more over the base Mark VIII with simply the exhaust being the primary reason.
In my case I also lost the cats in the process. I can tell you I went from a best 13.8 to a new best 13.5 ET in the 1/4 mile with no other mods except the headers. So even if you fudge a tenth for weather factors, you're looking at a solid two tenths which should mean 18 HP plus or minus. :)
MonsterMark March 27th, 2006, 06:56 PM JP,
I can't wait to race. Here you have done all sorts of good things NA and all I want to do is run you with a 125 shot. Is that asking too much??? LOL.
